From the 13th to 15th centuries, the Landgraviate of Burgundy encompassed the areas stretching from the Aare river and Thun to Aarwangen, in the present-day canton of Bern in Switzerland. The holders of the office of Landgrave were first the Counts of Buchegg, the Kyburg family, the Bishops of Trier and other, minor nobles before the office was transferred to the city of Bern after their extinction. In historical documents and reports on the state, the name Little Burgundy / Klein Burgund ( Latin Burgundia minor ) was also used for the Landgraviate of Burgundy, which had been invented in the 16th century by Aegidius Tschudi, but which did not represent a contemporary medieval term.
The reasoning for it being called Transjurania is due to the state's location and history of being a "continuation" of the Kingdom of Arles in their Transjurania county.
