Etymology[edit]
First attested as engmeir in 1256. Etymology unknown. The oldest attestation would suggest a compound of eng (“pasture”) and meer (“pool, cut-off river bend”). A different interpretation reads the first element as a contraction of in and the definite article ge. A link with Latin imber (“rain”) has also been proposed.
