Dutch
Etymology
First attested as van escoten in 1334. Likely a compound of es (“ash, Fraxinus excelsior”) and the plural form of schot (“enclosed space, fenced-in territory”). An alternative etymology interprets the toponym as a compound of es and the plural form of kot (“shack, small farmhouse”).
