German[edit]
Pronunciation[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
Probably from Middle Low German holm (“girt”), which pertains to the Germanic root *helmô (compare English helm). Older theories derive it from the plural of dialectal Hulbe (“beam”) with -ben → -m (a rather common development in German). This seems less likely, particularly since Holm was spread by Jahn, who introduced several Low German dialect words to the standard.
Noun[edit]
Holm m (genitive Holms or Holmes, plural Holme)

Etymology 2[edit]
From Middle Low German and Old Saxon holm (“island”), from Proto-West Germanic *holm.
