Etymology

[edit]

First attested as deddingiuuerbe in 855. Derived from a compound of Old Frisian Deddo (a personal name), likely suffixed with the collectivising suffix -ingi-, and werf (artificial mound used for habitation). The second element was gradually replaced by hēm (home, settlement). The Dutch form of the toponym was borrowed from an older variant of the Frisian name. Compare Deddingabuurt.
