Etymology
Attested as Tente in the 16th century. Likely derived from Middle Dutch tinte (“tent, temporary shelter”). Proposed derivations from Medieval Latin tincta (“tincture, paint”) (as a reference to madder production) or Middle Dutch tinte (“notched lower section of an arrow”) (as a reference to shape of the polder the village is located in) are significantly less likely.
