Re: What is the meaning of this name, if any?
[...Etwa zur gleichen Zeit siedelten sich im Elbtal der aus Böhmen stammende Stamm der Nisani an und gründeten links der Elbe das Dorf Drezdany, was Sumpf- oder Auenlandbewohner bedeutet....]the above text is taken from the following website:
http://dresden.up2city.de/stadtgeschichte/Freely translated, the city Dresden (Drezdany in history), was stated by the Nisani (people from Bohemia) in the Elbe river valley. Drezdany means 'people living in the swamps (or 'wetlands')'. So, i don't know where you have your meaning from, but it must be a made-up try. Dress is indeed 'clothes', but in this case unrelated.
