Wienin

Wienin is a term that may be encountered as a feminine demonym in German-language texts referring to a female resident of Vienna. In modern standard German, the usual feminine form for a resident of Vienna is Wienerin; Wienin is uncommon and is generally regarded as archaic, dialectal, or a stylistic variant found in older writings or poetic contexts. The root is Wien, the German name for the city, combined with the feminine suffix -in, a regular pattern in German for forming feminine nouns, though Wienerin is the preferred contemporary form.

Usage of Wienin tends to appear in historical documents, travel writings from earlier centuries, or literary works that deliberately imitate older language. Because it is not standard in contemporary usage, Wienin is not typically used in formal communication or modern media.

Beyond its potential role as a demonym, Wienin occasionally shows up as a surname or in fictional or fictionalized toponyms. Such uses are rare and not officially connected to the city of Vienna in an administrative sense.

Etymology and context notes: Wienin is derived from Wien with the feminine suffix -in; its exact nuance depends on context and region, and pronunciation may vary.
