It looks German indeed, although I can't find it anywhere. It seems to have been a place-name, you can still find similar place-names in Germany like Etzenrot. The second element probably is ROD ("clearing" like "ley" in English), the first part may be the personal name Etzel > Atzel from Azzo, a short form of names starting with the element "adal" (noble). But there is also the Middle High German word "etze" meaning "pasture-ground".
So it could be "Azzo's clearing" or else "pasture clearing" - or maybe somthing else?
