Old French exploitation toponyms in the northern Low Countries and their significance for medieval Dutch settlement history

Alexia E. Kerkhof

Abstrak

Abstract This article explores the influence of Old French terminology on medieval settlement history in the Low Countries, revealing lexical exchanges that disseminated from the bilingual zone in Belgium to the southern Netherlands. It argues that the southern Dutch toponyms saert, triest , and mortel reflect the high medieval dissemination of southern technological and organizational expertise and proposes that feudal officials played a role in introducing Romance onomastic material into the Dutch toponymic landscape.
