• (Overijssel) First attested as herdenborg in 1229-1230. Potentially a compound of Middle Dutch herde (“hard”) and berg (“hill, elevated place”). An alternative hypothesis interprets the name as a compound of herde (“fortified, strong”) and burch (“fortified settlement, castle”). Compare Montfort, Montfoort, Sterkenburg and Stoutenburg.
