Etymologie (Engels)

Overgenomen van Middelnederlands
die Haghe
In summary

From Middle Dutch Die Hāge (“the enclosure”), from hāge (m, later also f, “enclosure, hedge”), from Proto-Germanic *hagô. First attested in 1242 as die haga. The article form den is dative/accusative, generalized in the modern name because of its use after prepositions, e.g. in den Haghe (“in The Hague”). Compare Den Bosch, Den Hoorn etc.
