Etymology

[edit]

Potentially attested as ghodelde lant in 1280-1287. If the oldest attestation refers to the current settlement, a derivation from Old Dutch *Godhelde (a personal name) and lant (land) is possible. If the oldest attestation does not refer to the current settlement, a derivation from a compound of the hydronym Goo Wetering and land (land) is possible.
