editEtymology
edit- (Overijssel) First attested as hof to henghele in 1381-1383. Likely a compound of Middle Dutch heinge (“enclosure”) and lo (“light forest”), although it is difficult to say whether this is the actual etymology of the toponym due to a paucity of old attestations. Compare Hengelder, Hengevelde and Hengforden.
- (Gelderland) First attested as heingelon in 965. Compound of Middle Dutch heinge (“enclosure”) and lo (“light forest”). Compare Hengelder, Hengevelde and Hengforden.
