I have just realized a very annoying thing: the "Austr-" in "Austria" means East, from German Öster. The "Austr-" in "Australia", on the other hand, means South, from Latin Australis.

Thank you, have a nice day.

@pulkomandy I always wondered... East of what?
@arcepi @pulkomandy Österreich means the Eastern Country/Kingdom. East of the German-speaking countries.
