Schwandorf

Schwandorf is a massive district city within the identical district Schwandorf inside the district of Upper Palatinate in Bavaria. Rainer Scharf in the legitimate town chronicle argues that Suainicondorf may be in reality traced lower back to Slavic roots. In the vicinity name, therefore, suhai and nica might be protected, which could suggest transfer Burschendorf. The thesis that Schwandorf archaeologically proved to be an immigration vicinity of the Slavs is supported. At the Slavic foundation of the name is hardly doubted anymore. With a non public name Sweinikko brings Albrecht Greule the place call in combination, wherein he accepts as a root word.

Old High German swein shepherd, servant and lad. Schwandorf would therefore be understood as a shepherd village; at the start of a carrier of the name Sweinikko or Sweinikka may additionally have stood. A call-giving reference to the margraves of the Nordgau the von Schweinfurt, whose dominion in the 10th century also covered the Naabtal, became considered, but is unlikely. In the intervening time, theories had been rejected, after the location call of Schwan or Schwerin would be deduced.
