Mussig ({{IPA|fr|mysiɡ}}) is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France.[https://www.insee.fr/fr/metadonnees/geographie/commune/67310-mussig INSEE commune file] Successive known names carried by the village were: Moussich, Mosich (1370) and Musich (1453) before becoming Musselburgh. The etymological origin is probably to be found in the existence of wetlands and swamps are conducive to the formation of foam.
