Luxembourg has not always been called by that name. The name "Luxembourg" originates from the Latin "Lucilinburhuc," meaning "little castle," referring to a fortress built in the 10th century. Over time, the name evolved through various forms in different languages, including "Lussemburg" in German and "Luksemburg" in Dutch. However, the name has been relatively stable since the late medieval period.
