The name Pomerania comes from Slavic po more, which means Land at the Sea.[1]

All 16 German states
Transcription
I’ve been asked to pronounce the names of all sixteen German states, which is a little bit tricky because, of course, German is not my first language. But, nevertheless, I will go ahead and start with thirteen states that are called “area states”. There are also two city states, and they are: This leaves one more state, which is usually classed as a city state, but in fact consists of two cities. It is: This state is made up of the cities of Bremen itself and Bremerhaven. Hamburg and Bremen are both Hanseatic cities, which explains why their abbreviations are HH and HB respectively. Also, Bayern, Sachsen and Thüringen all describe themselves as “Free States”, although that has absolutely no constitutional significance at all. The abbreviation for Niedersachsen is NI, and not, as you might expect, NS. This is because NS stands for “nationalsozialistisch”, which is better known as “nazi”. Similarly, Sachsen-Anhalt is ST, because SA stands for “Sturmabteilung”, which was the paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party. That’s it; and if this information is of any use to you, have fun with it. Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did, then be sure to subscribe for more. Also, why not follow my Google+ page for some behind-the-scenes chit-chat and some other goodies as well?
