Halderberge

Dutch

Etymology

Potentially derived from a compound of haar (“sandy ridge”) and lo (“light forest”) and berg (“hill, elevated place”). An alternative hypothesis posits a derivation from Proto-Germanic *halu- (“sloping”) and berg. The name was chosen by vote by local history organisations from the municipalities which fused to form the new municipality.
