Etymologie (Englisch)

In summary

From Middle Dutch beemt, bempt (13th century). Cognate with Limburgish baandj, Ripuarian Bänd (both roughly “hayfield, wet meadow, floodplain”). Thought to be derived from an underlying Middle Dutch *banmade (“communal hayfield”), from ban (“jurisdiction”) + made (“meadow”), respectively from Proto-Germanic *bannaz and *mēdwō. The uncontracted form is possibly attested in the medieval placename Langobanomothe (also Langbanemente, Langebamet) near Xanten.
