Etymology edit
First attested as eynenhusen in 1404. Compound of Old Dutch Eino (“a personal name”) suffixed with the collectivising suffix -ing- and the dative plural form of huis (“house”). The current "German" spelling of the name derives from the time when the village belonged to the Duchy of Jülich (see also Bocholtz and Siebengewald).
