==Etymology==
Stuttgart, often nicknamed the "''Schwabenmetropole''" ({{langx|en|[[Swabia]]n metropolis}}) in reference to its location in the centre of [[Swabia]] and the [[Swabian German|local dialect]] spoken by the native [[Swabians]], has its etymological roots in the [[Old High German]] word {{lang|goh|Stuotgarten}},<ref name="GeschStutt1">{{cite web |title=Das Mittelalter (bis 1500) |trans-title=The Middle Ages (until 1500) |url=http://www.stuttgart-geschichte.de/history/mittelalter.html |work=Die Geschichte von Stuttgart |year=2008 |access-date=14 October 2018 |language=de |archive-date=22 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181122181922/http://www.stuttgart-geschichte.de/history/mittelalter.html |url-status=live }}</ref> or "[[stud farm]]",<ref name="StuttInfo">{{cite web |title=Stuttgart's History |url=http://www.stgt.com/stuttgart/historye.htm |publisher=Stuttgart Information |access-date=14 October 2018 |archive-date=21 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181021164107/http://www.stgt.com/stuttgart/historye.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> because the city was founded in 950&nbsp;[[Anno Domini|AD]] by [[Duke]] [[Liudolf, Duke of Swabia|Liudolf]] [[Duke of Swabia|of Swabia]] to breed warhorses.<ref name="EBStutt"/>

In the local dialects of [[Alemannic German]] it can be "{{lang|gsw|Schtuegert}}", and in [[Swabian German]] "{{lang|swg|Stuagart}}"; with similar variant spellings, usually dropping the central T sound.
