Distantly cognate to Australia : it derives from the same Proto-Indo-European root, but via Latin, where it came to mean “south” rather than “east”. Compare also Austrasia .

Anagrams
Latin
Etymology
From auster ( “ south ” ) + -ia , a phono-semantic matching of Middle High German Ōsterrīche , from Old High German Ōstarrīhhi . The first element of the High German word is Proto-Germanic *austraz ( “ eastern ” ) , cognate with Latin auster , but of different sense. The formation nevertheless makes sense because Austria is located in the south-east of the German-speaking lands.
