Dutch
Etymology
First attested as wenen in 1335 and wiessel in 1337. Wenum is of uncertain etymology. It has been interpreted as a compound derived from an uncertain first element (interpretations range from Old Dutch Wino (a personal name) to wan (“minor stream, current that carries a low volume of water”) to wang (“incline”)) and heem (“home, settlement”). Wiesel is interpreted as a compound of Proto-Germanic *wisô- (“pasture”) and lo (“light forest on sandy soil”) (compare Wessel, Wezel and Wissel). The two formerly independent hamlets have been considered a single village since 1978.
