Name: Allentsteig
Originally the town was called Tygia, Tigin, Thige. These names are derived from the illyric word "dujas" (murmur) for Thaya. The name Allentsteig is first mentioned in a document of the 12th century, when Adelold of Kaya-Kamegg (1188 - 1216) was owner of the castle. From 1212 the town was called "Adeloldstige". The meaning of the name is "Area of Adelold on the murmuring brook".
Since 1700 the town is called Allentsteig.
