Meaning & usage
A village, officially a quarter of Straelen, Lower Rhine, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Where this word comes from
From Dutch broek (“swamp, meadow”) + huizen (“home”). The name combines two of the specifically Dutch spellings found only in the area between Krefeld and Kleve, namely -oe- for /uː/ and -uy- for /yː/ (cf. Boeckelt and Schaephuysen respectively). Elsewhere in North-Rhine Westphalia -oe- represents /oː/ or /øː/ and we find -ui- for /yː/.
