Etymology
The name Ekkesburg comes from the Duchy's largest city and capital, whose name ultimately comes from the former name of the region, Ekkesland. Some historical documents also refer to the area as Ekland, but regardless, both Ekkesland and Ekland derive from the Emerstarian roots ek and land meaning oak and land, respectively. In Ekkesburg, the word land is replaced with burg, meaning a city or some sort of other enclosed settlement.
