Dutch[edit]
Etymology[edit]
First attested as huilpa between 840-849. Etymology unknown. Potentially a compound of Proto-Germanic *hwelpjô- (“whelp, young dog”) or *hwelp- (“scream, roar”) and *apa (“river, current”). Both interpretations of the first element are unsatisfactory: the former lacks a naming motive, the latter does not entirely fit with the oldest attestations of the toponym. A derivation from Proto-Indo-European *kewel (“shining, sparkling”) has also been proposed.
