etymology

The basic word reuth is in the form of riuti of Old High German or as riute of Middle High German origin and means' Rodeland ', piece of land that has been cleared through clearing'. In Middle High German, the iu in the word changed to eu . The determiner, the first syllable, is to be seen in connection with the mention in 1146 as a derivation of the personal name Benno in the genitive singular . Thus, it would be en in the middle of "Bennenriuth" as Hapologie omitted and the subsequent realizations with a r hyper correctly . If the Bernreuth mentioned in 1146 does not match the one dealt with here, the personal name Bero or Berno, both in the genitive singular, could also come into question. The ending of the name would have been omitted in a similar way as in the previous approach. As a third possibility, the name could also be derived from bër (weakly masculine), an old spelling of bear in the genitive singular or plural. In this case, it can be assumed that the name is not of ecological origin, but more likely comes from an event in which a bear was involved.

In the local variety of upper Frankish dialect the place name [reads bęn.rǫįd ], ie b ä nroid.
