Oud-Diemen

== Dutch == === Etymology === First attested as demen in 1226. Compound of oud (“old”) and the toponym Diemen. Potentially derived from an ancient hydronym derived from Proto-Indo-European *amb- (“water”) or from a term meaning "dark, darkness". The element oud was added when the nearby hamlet of Diemerbrug appropriated the name Diemen. === Pronunciation === Hyphenation: Oud-‧Die‧men === Proper noun === Oud-Diemen n a hamlet in Diemen, North Holland, Netherlands === References === van Berkel, Gerard; Samplonius, Kees (2018), “Oud-diemen”, in Nederlandse plaatsnamen verklaard‎[1] (in Dutch), Mijnbestseller.nl, →ISBN
