origin
The word Weiler and the toponym Weiler are traced back to the Latin word villa , villarium 'country estate' by some , while others refer to the Germanic - Old High German wilari ' farmstead ' (from hwilan (pronounced [ ˈxwiː.lɑn ], “chwilan”), linger ').
Another etymology but is Weilheim and like formations based. Here the standard formation on a personal name with the root Wil (as in Wilhelm ) can be assumed: 'Hof des Wil'. Thus Weilheim in Baden 929 as wilhaim documented, the neighboring Nöggenschwiel 1279 as a villa noecherswiler .
distribution
The term hamlet has been spreading in the German-speaking area since the early Middle Ages - from the 7th century ( Franconian land acquisition ) to the 9th century (expansion of the Franconian Empire to Bavaria, later also to Austria and Saxony). The word only partially takes part in the New High German diphthongization i (e) → ei .
Are linguistically related particularly in Switzerland and in Alsace frequently encountered place names with suffixes -wil (l / s), -wyl, -viller ( -viller (s) or -villier (s) in northern France).
In France, old place names on -viller (s) , -villier (s) , -villar (d) , -ville are common in the north, which is strongly influenced by Franconia - especially in villages, which are almost always associated with a Germanic personal name as the first component are. In western, central and south-eastern France, on the other hand, only a few relatively new cities have names ending in -ville , corresponding to today's general term ville 'city'.
