Meaning & usage
Sauerland (a hilly region of Westphalia, North Rhine-Westphalia)
Where this word comes from
First mentioned in 1266 as Suderlande; the -d- started to disappear around 1400. The first part is possibly a corruption of a Westphalian Low German word for southern: compare süder-, Süd, Old Saxon sûðar, all from sūth, from Proto-West Germanic *sunþr. This is more likely than the theory that it is directly from sauer (“sour”, in this sense "poor soil"). The second part is related to Land.
