The Principality of Fürstenberg (in German Fürstentum Fürstenberg) directly translated it's the Principality of Prince Mountain.
In the same neighbourhood we find the Margraviate of Baden-Baden (and the city of the same name). Original it was the Margraviate of Baden named after the local town of Baden, later to distinct the town from other towns named Baden (just as there's more places named Frankfurt in Germany too) in Germany, the town was called Baden-Baden. As the Margraviate was partitioned between different family lines, they was named after the different capitals (like Baden-Durlach), but even the Germans wasn't willing to call a state for Baden-Baden-Baden.
