Does the word Sudan really mean black (Aswad)?

In ancient Egyptian the word for king is Suten which is equivalent to "southerner".

south sounds alot like Sudan.

In German the word for south is sud or suden

in dutch it is zuiden

in Italian it is sud

in danish it is zyd

swedish it is söder

Sudan may not be an arabic word but imported into arabic via Europe or Egypt meaning south

Bilad as Sudan may simply mean land of the south and the people Aswad (black)

what do you all think?

The arabic word sawad (black) may be related to the German or dutch swart/schwarz (black).
