Toponymy
Toponymy
The name of the village probably originally derived from the Old High German bodamon which meant "on the soils", indicating a place on level terrain by the lake. This place, situated at the west end of Lake Überlingen (Überlinger See), had a more supraregional character for a certain period in the early Middle Ages as a Frankish imperial palace (Königspfalz), Alamannian ducal seat and mint, which is why the name may have been transferred to the lake which Bodman is situated (Bodmansee, "Bodman's lake"). From 833 or 834 AD, the region surrounding the village and lake appears in Latin sources as lacus potamicus.
