Hi folks, here's what I've found out:
89 Sliaswich (850, name used by Franks/Saxons; older Middle Danish Slæswich) - Haithabu (name used by Scandinavians). Before 1200, when the term Sønderjylland came into use, the region seems to have simply been called Slesvig. Another possibility, but more doubtful historically: *Syndær-Iütland.
