Another theory is that it was originally Viashaw, meaning way or road through the wood.

Reichsstraße is German and literally means "imperial road".

The name of Strassen comes from the Latin "strata," which means military road.

Hen is Welsh for "old" and hoel means a paved way or road.

Originally it was known by its Manobo settlers as "dadas" meaning road down by the river.

The name Täby stems from Tä, which means bridge or paved road.

I mean what road, kind of thing?

Others believe the name was originally Viashaw, meaning way or road through the wood.

Its name means road (weg) of the plant nurseries (Baumschulen).

Therefore they called it Drumsha which means "Bad road" in rough translation.
