Dutch[edit]
Etymology[edit]
First attested as de Ruremunde in the mid-12th century. Compound of the hydronym Roer (derived from either a Germanic root cognate with Old Saxon hrôra (“movement”), Old English hrôr (“motile, lively”) and modern Dutch roeren (“stir”) or from Proto-Indo-European *reu- (“dig”) with suffixed -r) and mond (“mouth”). The interpretation of mond as a derivation from Old Dutch munte (“mountain, refuge hill”) (cf. Urmond) is incorrect.
See also Limburgish Remunj.
