The word burg in Edinburg is a cognate of the English word 'borough', both deriving from the Old Germanic word for a fortified settlement.
While English speakers treat 'Edinburgh' as a single phonetic unit, a German speaker might emphasize the syllable 'burg', which means 'castle' or 'fortified town' in German.
German maps and travel guides often list the city as Edinburgh, but historical texts from the 19th century frequently used the Germanized Edinburg.
