Fucking is a town in Austria
In Austria there is a town with the name ‘Fucking’. Although it is a very small town with only around 100 habitants, its become quite famous because of the English meaning of its town name.
Despite the fact that the village was already founded in the
6th century by Focko, the current name Fucking in it’s current spelling is only around since the 18th century.
The first time the villages was documented in 1070 it was with the name Vucchingen. Later on it changed into Fukching in 1303, Fugkhing in 1532, and in the modern spelling Fucking in the 18th century, which is pronounced with the vowel oo as in book. The ending -ing is an old Germanic suffix indicating the people belonging to the root word to which it is attached, such as in the English word earthling; thus Fucking means “(place of) Focko?s people.”
