I am Brittas boyfriend, being member of current Schwaben, prefering speaking my dialect over speaking Standard German. In case of of settlements many current towns or villages date back to Alemannic tribal age ( graveyards). A typical settlements name ends with -ingen. Somewhere i read, this - ingen and british -ingham have the same root.

@AntonyReyn : Somewhere i read , that in current english Nottingham would mean Nott's Farm. In my swabian homeregion there is a villlage Notzingen, according to an accademic person , who told me, this - ingen ending means: settlement of ....'s men/followers, and ... is a no more known name of a local leader. So the family/ clan leader , who founded Notzingen could have Had also the name Nott or Notz. A in my Homeregion often told story, that a man from Baltmannsweiler founded Baltimore is of course a joke,

@Bannermann : Yes , in Ellwangen there is the Alemannenmuseum, i visited some years ago. Seems , a second visit is necessary. From Ellwangen Aalen with its famous museum about the Romans , Limesmuseum, is not far away. The fact , that in Roman days in Aalen a cavallry unit called Ala had been stationed, can ' t be a coincidence ?
