Etymology[edit]

The name first appeared towards the end of the 11th century as Darmundestat, later as Darmstait. Its origins are unknown. It is sometimes stated to derive from the Darmbach (a small stream formerly running through the city). In fact, the stream received its current name much later, after the city.[1]
