Etymology

edit

Potentially attested as alke and aske in 889, attested with certainty as aske in 1288. Potentially derived from a variant of es (ash, Fraxinus excelsior). A derivation from the old hydronym Ascha (compare Asse) is also possible. Whether the oldest attestations refer to Asch or an otherwise unknown settlement near Heemskerk is unclear.
