First attested as Iteram in 1143. Compound of neer (lower) and the hydronym Itter. The hydronym in turn derives from either Proto-Indo-European *id- (swell, engorge) or *ajadh- (bright, clear). The prefix neer was added at a later date to distinguish the settlement from Opitter. Compare Itteren and Ittervoort.
