Gooland
Dutch
editEtymology
editPotentially attested as ghodelde lant in 1280-1287. If the oldest attestation refers to the current settlement, a derivation from Old Dutch *Godhelde (a personal name) and lant (“land”) is possible. If the oldest attestation does not refer to the current settlement, a derivation from a compound of the hydronym Goo Wetering and land (“land”) is possible.
