Historic Course Through Amsterdam
Would anyone with the ability be willing to make a map of the old course of the Amstel, but show the old course over a modern map of the city? I've always been very interested in the exact course of the old river after Muntplein. --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:14, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Amsterdam < Amstelerdam, not Amsteldam
Amsterdam derives from Amstelredam/Amstelerdam and definitely not Amsteldam. '-er' is an old genitive also evident as '-r' in Rotterdam, i.e. Dam on the Rotte (name of a river). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wjvanb (talk • contribs) 11:04, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Image of Amestelle
I've included an image of the name "Giselberto de Amestelle" on a detail from a 12th-century document, because this is the earliest use of the name "Amestelle" which evolved into the name Amstel. – Pungitius (talk) 23:35, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
