Etymology of STROSSBURI

The word Strossburi is an alternative spelling or variation of the name Strasbourg. Strossburi is a dialectal pronunciation of the city's name in Alsatian, a Germanic dialect spoken in the region of Alsace, France. The etymology of Strasbourg can be traced back to the Old High German term Strazburg or Strazburc, which means town (burg) at the crossing of roads or paths (straz). This reflects the strategic location of the city, situated near a major crossing of the Rhine River. Over time, the name evolved to become Strasbourg in French, while the Alsatian version retained the Germanic pronunciation with Strossburi.
