Finnish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Old Saxon Sahso (“a Saxon, a Low German”), a tribe/people inhabiting northern Germany (not to be confused with modern Saxony). Germans in general were identified with (Old) Saxons because contact with the German-speaking countries happened at first mainly via the Baltic Sea with people speaking Low German. Ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *sahsō. For this, compare French Allemagne, Latin Germānia and possibly Latvian Vācija. Cognate with Estonian Saksamaa (literally “Saxon land”).
