Brandenburg derives its name from the Slavic word "Branibor," which means "border fortress." This reflects its historical role as a defensive settlement. The area became significant in the 10th century when it was established as a margraviate, and over time, the name evolved to refer to the region and its capital, Berlin. Today, Brandenburg is known as both a federal state in Germany and a historical region.
