Dutch
[edit]Etymology
[edit]First attested as hulenstroten in 1335. Potentially a compound of Middle Dutch Ulo (“a personal name”) or ule (“owl”) and the plural form of straat (“street”). An alternative explanation interprets the toponym as a compound of ool (“land next to water, humid low-lying land”) and stroet (“wetland overgrown with brushwood”).
See also Limburgish Ulesjtraote.
