Laag-Soeren

Dutch

Etymology

First attested as Laag Soeren in 1830-1855. Compound of laag (“low”) and a second element that is perhaps related to Old Saxon sôr (“barren, dry”), Middle Dutch soor (“dry, rough, sore”). A proposed derivation from a contracted form of Middle Dutch suder (“southern, south”) is not backed up by the oldest attestations of the toponym.
