Huizinge

Dutch

Etymology

First attested as hustinga around 822-856. Etymology uncertain. Potentially derived from a compound of Old Frisian hûs (“house”) and dinge (“newly cultivated lands”). The toponym is possibly related to Heusden and similar toponyms, with the -ingi- suffix being a later addition. Compare Heusden, Huisduinen and Opheusden.
