Where this word comes from
* (Zuid-Holland) First attested as strinen in 1167. Derived from a hydronym, derived in turn from Proto-Indo-European *stri (“strike, hit”) or *sreu (“flow”). An alternative hypothesis proposes a derivation from (a term cognate to) struinen (“wander about, amble about”). * (Noord-Brabant) First attested as t huys te striene in 1323. Named after a former castle, which in turn was named after a former hydronym.
