Etymology

[edit]

First attested as linne in 943. Of uncertain etymology. Older hypotheses compare the toponym to Proto-Celtic *lindom (water) and attempt to draw a link to an ancient hydronym. Comparisons have also been drawn to French Ligny. More recent hypotheses attempt to derive the toponym from a hydronym derived from Proto-Indo-European *ledh (shining, protruding) or from the name of a tree (cf. Old English hlyne (Norway maple, Acer platanoides)).

Compare Lienden, Lijnden, Linden and Linschoten.
