Etymology
Deursen is first attested as dorne in the 13th century. Dennenburg is first attested as derenburhc in the first quarter of the 13th century. Deursen derives from the dative singular form of Middle Dutch dorn (“thorn, thorn bush”), here perhaps referring to a set of fortifications covered in brambles. Dennenburg is a compound of an uncertain first element and burg (“fortified settlement, castle”). The first element may derive from Proto-Germanic *darnja- (“secret, hidden”). Formerly two independent villages. Compare for Dennenburg Daarle.
