Etymology
First attested as ouermunte in 1153. Compound of over (“upper, upstream”) and Old Dutch munte (“hill, place of refuge during flooding”) (borrowed from Latin mons (“mountain, hill”)). The second element was quickly reinterpreted to mond (“mouth”) while the first element was converted into a hydronym Ur by analogy with Roermond.
