"Austria" is only "Austria" in English. Since no-one in Austria spoke English as a mother toungue you must expect they would have a words for it in their own languages. In German it's called "Österreich" meaning, roughly, "the Eastern Kingdom".
Now that I think about it, this was a mistake. The clerks in the German ports of departure were supposed to to fill out ship manifests in Enlish if the boat was going to America.
