Etymology
First attested as epse in 1195. Etymology uncertain. Potentially derived from Proto-Germanic *apa- (“river, current”), more specifically from the hydronym *apa-isa. A derivation from the metathised form of Middle Dutch esp (“aspen, Populus tremula”) is not likely based on the oldest attestations.
