Lijnden

== Dutch == === Alternative forms === Lienden (Gelderland, dialect form) === Etymology === (Noord-Holland) Attested as Stoomgemaal-de-Lijnden in 1867. Named after a steam-powered pumphouse named in turn after engineer Frans Godert baron van Lynden van Hemmen. See Linden. (Gelderland) First attested as de lino in the 11th century. Etymology uncertain. Potentially derived from Latin linum (“flax, Linum usitatissimum”), Proto-Germanic *līną (“flax, Linum usitatissimum”) or Middle Dutch lijn (“rope”). An alternative possibility is a derivation from Proto-Germanic *hlîn- (“Norway maple (Acer platanoides)”) (see Old Norse hlynr). Finally, a reinterpretation of older forms of the name might have given rise to a derivation from Middle Dutch lijnde (“rope, rope used to demarcate property lines”) or dialectal liende (“linden, Tilia sp.”) (see linde). Compare Lienden, Linden, Linne and Linschoten. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈlɛi̯n.də(n)/ Hyphenation: Lijn‧den Rhymes: -ɛi̯ndən Homophone: Lynden === Proper noun === Lijnden n a village in Haarlemmermeer, North Holland, Netherlands a hamlet in Overbetuwe, Gelderland, Netherlands ==== Derived terms ==== Lijndenaar Lijndens === References === van Berkel, Gerard; Samplonius, Kees (2018), “Lijnden”, in Nederlandse plaatsnamen verklaard‎[1] (in Dutch), Mijnbestseller.nl, →ISBN
