  1. a hamlet in Epe, Gelderland, Netherlands

    neuter
Where this word comes from

First attested as in niirsen in 1335-1336. Etymology unknown. The hamlet's location next to a stream suggests that the toponym might be derived from an ancient hydronym derived in turn from Proto-Indo-European *ner- (“penetrate, dive, hide oneself”) or *nor-. An etymological relationship with Neersen in Westphalia is unlikely because of divergent vocalism in the oldest attestations. Compare Neer.
