Savoy emerged as the feudal County of Savoy ruled by the House of Savoy during the 11th to 14th centuries.

West Northamptonshire Council
West or Occident is one of the four cardinal directions or points of the compass. It is the opposite direction from east and is the direction in which the Sun sets on the Earth. Etymology The word "west" is a Germanic word passed into some Romance languages (''ouest'' in French, ''oest'' in Catalan, ''ovest'' in Italian, ''oeste'' in Spanish and Portuguese). As in other languages, the word formation stems from the fact that west is the direction of the setting sun in the evening: 'west' derives from the Indo-European root ''*wes'' reduced from ''*wes-pero'' 'evening, night', cognate with Ancient Greek ἕσπερος hesperos 'evening; evening star; western' and Latin vesper 'evening; west'. Examples of the same formation in other languages include Latin occidens 'west' from occidō 'to go down, to set' and Hebrew מַעֲרָב maarav 'west' from עֶרֶב erev 'evening'.

The word comes from Middle English ''hert'', from Old English ''heorot''; compare Frisian ''hart'', Dutch ''hert'', German ''Hirsch'', and Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish ''hjort'', all meaning "deer". Heorot is given as the name of Hrothgar's mead hall in the Old English epic '' Beowulf''.
