Where this word comes from
* (Noord-Holland) Attested as Stoomgemaal-de-Lijnden in 1867. Named after a steam-powered pumphouse named in turn after engineer Frans Godert baron van Lynden van Hemmen. See Linden. * (Gelderland) First attested as de lino in the 11th century. Etymology uncertain. Potentially derived from Latin linum (“flax, Linum usitatissimum”), Proto-Germanic *līną (“flax, Linum usitatissimum”) or Middle Dutch lijn (“rope”). An alternative possibility is a derivation from Proto-Germanic *hlîn- (“Norway maple (Acer platanoides)”) (see Old Norse hlynr). Finally, a reinterpretation of older forms of the name might have given rise to a derivation from Middle Dutch lijnde (“rope, rope used to demarcate property lines”) or dialectal liende (“linden, Tilia sp.”) (see linde). Compare Lienden, Linden, Linne and Linschoten.
