Where this word comes from
* (region) Derived from Proto-Germanic *falwaz (“pale, yellowish, fallow”) and *awjō (“island”). The name corresponds to "fallow lands" in English and probably was used in opposition to the fertile "good lands" of the Betuwe (from Proto-Germanic *bataz (“good”) and *awjō (“island”)) to the south. * (Maasdriel) First attested as de Veluwe in 1958. A mocking nickname applied to the sandy area on which the hamlet sprung up.
