The place name Meggenhorn refers to the prominent promontory ("horn") on the western shore of Meggen that juts out into Lake Lucerne.
"Meggen" comes from the Old High German word "meccha," meaning "damp place, marshy area," while "horn" in the place name signifies a projecting headland.
Together, therefore: "headland of Meggen."
