Logabirum

Logabirum is a quarter in the city of Leer in East Frisia, Lower Saxony, Germany.
The name
Logabirum was documented for the first time in 1439 as Loghebeerne. Before the spelling of Logabirum was fixed, it had a number of different variations. e.g.

On a gravestone plate of 1598, one can recognize an old way of writing: "Loech Beerum".
On old maps and documents, Logabirum is also written as "Logeberum," "Logaeberumi" or "Lochberum".

There are also many different ways of interpreting the origins of the name.
One possibility is that "Loghe" or "Loech" comes from German and meant "locality/local/village". "Beerum" or "Berum" means forest, thus "Logabirum" meant village at the forest. After G. Lohse and H. Thomas thought "birum" should be to attributed to the Germanic word "bir" (farmstead). Thus "Berum" would mean "in the yards" and Logabirum "in the yards with Loga".
Another interpretation again comes from that Celtic...
