Where this word comes from
* (Horst aan de Maas) First attested as den Welder in 1803-1820. Likely derived from the name of a field, derived in turn from wild (“wild, uncultivated”). Compare Middle Dutch wildert (“badland, uncultivated land”). * (Venlo) Potentially attested as early as 802-822 as walare, attested with certainty as Wielder in 1978. If the oldest attestation does in fact refer to the current settlement, a derivation from Old Dutch wilere (“farm, hamlet”) is possible. If the settlement is younger, a derivation from a field name containing the element wild (“wild, uncultivated”) is possible. Compare Middle Dutch wildert (“badland, uncultivated land”).
