Austria

==Etymology==
{{Main|Name of Austria}}

The native name for Austria, {{Lang|de|Österreich}}, derives from the [[Old High German]] {{Lang|goh|Ostarrîchi}}, which meant "eastern realm" and which first appeared in the "Ostarrîchi document" of 996.<ref name="University of Klagenfurt">{{Cite web |title=University of Klagenfurt |url=http://wwwg.uni-klu.ac.at/spw/oenf/name2.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110513121957/http://wwwg.uni-klu.ac.at/spw/oenf/name2.htm |archive-date=13 May 2011 |access-date=2 October 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tfhADwAAQBAJ&pg=PT34 |title=Austrian Historical Memory and National Identity |date=1997 |publisher=Transaction Publishers |isbn=978-1-56000-902-3 |editor-last=Bischof |editor-first=Günter |editor-link=Günter Bischof |location=New Brunswick |pages=20–21 |access-date=14 June 2018 |editor-last2=Pelinka |editor-first2=Anton |editor-link2=Anton Pelinka |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180614144308/https://books.google.de/books?id=tfhADwAAQBAJ&pg=PT34&lpg=PA92 |archive-date=14 June 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref> This word is probably a translation of [[Medieval Latin]] {{Lang|la|[[Marchia orientalis (Austria)|Marchia orientalis]]}} into a local (Bavarian) dialect.

Austria was a prefecture of Bavaria created in 976. The word "Austria" is a Latinisation of the German name and was first recorded in the 12th century.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Brauneder |first=Wilhelm |title=Österreichische Verfassungsgeschichte |date=2009 |publisher=Manzsche Verlags- und Universitätsbuchhandlung |isbn=978-3-214-14876-8 |edition=11th |location=Vienna |page=17}}</ref>
