Etymology

Deutsch-Wagram combines Deutsch, the German word for 'German', and Wagram, the old local place name. A helpful way to remember it is to think of Deutsch as showing the town's language or people, and Wagram as likely coming from an old word for a 'ridge' or 'hill', which is why Deutsch-Wagram is the name of the Austrian town famous for the 1809 Battle of Wagram.
