The Suebi or Suevi were a Germanic tribe that at the time of the Roman Empire lived in that area. The name of the area, of the present people as well as of the modern dialect is derived from the original name.
The language of the Suebi was a Germanic language that is one of the bases of Old High German. The tribe and the language died out. However, their name still exists.

neutral  Textklick: It seems that we hit the button at the same time (read mine above 'take it easy') Your 'Suebian' does not refer to a dialect, but rather to a people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suevi Hence 'neutral'.
