Etymology
Mid tenth-century, possibly an early form of the name of the parish of Sombres, a hamlet 2 km to the Northeast, which oversaw Wissant, which did not yet have a distinct name.[1] In use perhaps as late as 1088, the year of the first attestation of Wissant as a reference to the town. The final -n poses a paleographical problem, but the MSS reading is supported by a 1337 plural form of Sombres: Sombrenes.[2]
Proper noun
Sumeran
- Early name for the town of Wissant.
