editEtymology
editFirst attested as linne in 943. Of uncertain etymology. Older hypotheses compare the toponym to Proto-Celtic *lindom (“water”) and attempt to draw a link to an ancient hydronym. Comparisons have also been drawn to French Ligny. More recent hypotheses attempt to derive the toponym from a hydronym derived from Proto-Indo-European *ledh (“shining, protruding”) or from the name of a tree (cf. Old English hlyne (“Norway maple, Acer platanoides”)).
Compare Lienden, Lijnden, Linden and Linschoten.
