The etymology of Berlin is unknown. It is almost certainly derived from a Slavonic language, probably the Polabian stem berl- meaning swamp, marsh. In folk etymology in Germany it is (wrongly) said to be derived from Bärlein - little bear. However, the diminutive ending -lein is South German and the stress on the second syllable (cf. Demmin, Lehnin, Stettin) make this most implausible. This has not prevented the bear from being adopted in the arms of the city.
