Etymology

Inherited from Old Czech Rakúsi, possibly from Old High German *Ratgoza (“followers of Ratgoz”, a personal name). According to Walter Steinhauser, the *Ratgoza were a group of Germans who settled at Raabs, on the northern frontier of the Eastern March, in the 9th century. The Czechs extended their name to the entire Austrian nation.
