Talk:Breukelen

So, what does Breukelen mean in Dutch? Alexander 007 02:31, 3 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Breuk refers to Broek = an area that is often flooded, as in wetland or swamp. An old name (and local school name) is Broklede (1216), Brok = swamp, le(d)e = stream, in other words a stream surrounded by swamps. Mix in some time and grammatical magic and you end up with Breukelen. Emmarade (talk) 07:19, 21 December 2022 (UTC)


 * As far as I know nothing in Modern Dutch. It probably had a meaning in pre medieval Dutch, but that is outside my field. [Hicham]
