The German name for Vienna, the capital city of Austria.
From Latin Vindobona, meaning 'white settlement' or 'bright settlement'. The Germanic form Wien developed through sound changes over centuries.
Wien is home to more international organizations than any city except New York, yet many English speakers don't realize it's the same place as Vienna. This shows how different linguistic traditions can make familiar places seem foreign.
