The Old High German name parallels the Middle Latin name Marchia Orientalis (eastern borderland ), alternatively called Marchia austriaca. The shorter latinized name Austria is first recorded in the 12th century. It has occasionally led to confusion, because, while it renders the Germanic word for east it is reminiscent of the native Latin term for south, auster.
