Etymology

First attested as Genaanhuis in 1838-1857. If the attestation of 1838 is correct, the toponym is a contracted compound of the definite article ge, oud (“old”) and huis (“house”). If the 1838 attestation is a scribal error, then the toponym is a contracted compound of the definite article ge, nieuw (“new”) and huis (“house”).
