Dutch
Etymology
Potentially attested as orlinguerba around 825-842, attested with certainty as bollingaweer in 1511. Borrowed from West Frisian Bollingwier, derived in turn from a compound of Old Frisian Bolle (“a personal name”) suffixed with the collectivising suffix -ingi- and weer (“artificial mound used for habitation”).
