Here are some other names from the Spruner-Menke Atlas. This time we look at the “Southern Thuringia and Franconia” (Südliches Thüringen & Franken) map. Some of these names may have nothing to do with Suavs but many are highly suggestive of a connection. No doubt there are also other names on the map that may be Suavic in origin and that I missed (you are welcome to look yourself). In any event this is what there is for now. The map is shown below with all these names highlighted for your viewing pleasure. The resolution of the map is a bit crappy given the size of the file but you can verify the names online. An interesting thing to note is the stem of many of these which suggests Suavic provenance even if there is a –heim or –burg suffix attached to it.

Note that there are a number of other, clearly Suavic, names in the NE part of the map which I do not list here for the obvious reason that they require no mention (also some have already been mentioned in the prior Saxony Sprunker Menke map description here). I still show them in red so that you can see their extent.
