Land (suffix)


The suffix -land, which can be found in the names of several countries or country subdivisions, indicates a toponymy - a land. The word derived from the Old English land, meaning "ground, soil", and "definite portion of the earth's surface, home region of a person or a people, territory marked by political boundaries". It evolved from the Proto-Germanic *landą and from the Proto-Indo-European *lendʰ- "land, open land, heath".
