Dutch

Etymology

  • (Horst aan de Maas) First attested as den Welder in 1803-1820. Likely derived from the name of a field, derived in turn from wild (wild, uncultivated). Compare Middle Dutch wildert (badland, uncultivated land).
  • (Venlo) Potentially attested as early as 802-822 as walare, attested with certainty as Wielder in 1978. If the oldest attestation does in fact refer to the current settlement, a derivation from Old Dutch wilere (farm, hamlet) is possible. If the settlement is younger, a derivation from a field name containing the element wild (wild, uncultivated) is possible. Compare Middle Dutch wildert (badland, uncultivated land).
