Particularly: “Further etymology unclear. Since it's often the tên Nôm that bears the original meaning, probably related to etymology 1 (i.e "villages where grows"), or, again according to folk etymology, from 木 (mù) because the area was once surrounded by woods (i.e. "forest villages"). The earlier tên chữ of the area is Mộc Cự 木巨. I don't really buy into it though since the tên chữ are pretty obviously derivative of the tên Nôm.”
