Origin of the place name
Many old settlements on the Moselle are of Roman origin. In addition to the manifold excavation finds from this time, the names of the individual villages and localities are evidence of these roots . There were often combinations of a Roman male name and the ending iacum, which is common for Gallo-Roman settlements . With this suffix latifundia were named after their first owner in Roman Gaul . In Mehring's case, it was probably a Roman named Marinus. So the original name given to the Gallo-Roman settlement was Mariniacum . This translates as the court of Marinus. In the 8th century the place name "Marningum" appeared for the first time. Different spellings appeared in the course of the Middle Ages. The Prümer Urbar has five alone, including the first “Mehring” in 1295. This spelling only gradually established itself from the 16th century. There were deviations from this morphophonemic orthography , which is valid today, until the 19th century , such as "Mehringk" (1569) or "Mähring" (1805).
