't Vèn

Limburgish

Etymology

Possibly attested in the first quarter of the 13th century as Uene ("bogland"), from Proto-West Germanic *fani, from Proto-Germanic *fanją. Later attestations like van den Venschen Kirchhaven point to it being from Middle Dutch venne (“mire”), ultimately from the same Proto-Germanic term. Compare Dutch Ven-Zelderheide.
