Toponymy

The name can be broken down into two terms in Middle High German: " lützel ", namely "small", and " Burg ", namely "fortified place, castle" (although this gave the term "bourg" in French with a completely different meaning). Finally, the name translates to "small fortification". It is the same etymology as that of the city of Luxembourg which is always called `` Lëtzebuerg in Luxembourgish.
