Etymology

[edit]

First attested with certainty as amspen in 1302. Etymology uncertain. Perhaps derived from Proto-Germanic *Amsanô (a hydronym) with -n- suffix. The element heem (home, settlement) is not evident from older forms of the toponym and etymologies built around it must be rejected.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ˈɑmp.sə(n)/
  • Hyphenation: Amp‧sen

Proper noun
