1685: graz Jul 26, 2019

The Slavic suffix '-grad' meaning 'city' is all over place-names of Eastern Europe, such as 'Belgrade' ('Beograd') in Serbia. However, this does extend elsewhere, sort of. The Austrian city of 'Graz' also comes from this root, but you wouldn't know it looking at the German. Nevertheless, there is a Slavic name for, 'Gradec', in which this can still be seen, in a slightly clearer way.
