Winthagen

== Dutch == === Etymology === First attested as den hove te winthagen in 1386. Potentially derived from windhaag (“hedge meant do defend a building against gusts of wind”). However, it is possible that the toponym is a compound of Middle Dutch Windo (a personal name) or Wijnand and haag (“fence, enclosed area, homestead”). Compare Hilleshagen, Wolfhaag and Wolfhagen. See also Limburgish Windjhage. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈʋɪntˌɦaː.ɣə(n)/ Hyphenation: Wint‧ha‧gen === Proper noun === Winthagen n a hamlet in Voerendaal, Limburg, Netherlands === References === van Berkel, Gerard; Samplonius, Kees (2018), Nederlandse plaatsnamen verklaard (in Dutch), Mijnbestseller.nl, →ISBN
