The Old Saxon is generally construed as osx *Hliuniburg, after an identified placename osx Hliuni that occurs in the annals of Charlemagne (ca. 800). This in turn is usually considered a derivative of osx hlēo hill, burial mound, dam, bastion, shelter, from de gem-pro *hlaiwą. Compare the Westphalian placename de Lünen. On the other hand, it seems clear that the similarity to the de pox - name of the town pox Glain, Glein, Chlein can hardly be coincidental. The Polabian might be from Germanic, but it has also been connected with de sla-pro *glina clay, loam.
