Where this word comes from
First attested as Jawnum in 1506. Borrowed from West Frisian Jannum, which may derive from a compound of Old Frisian Iwe (a personal name) and hēm (“home, settlement”). The first element is unlikely to be Jan, as Christian names were introduced to Frisian in a time when the hēm element was no longer productive in toponyms. Compare Driesum and Hanssum.
