Etymology

* (Gelderland) First attested as essen in 1379-1380. Derived from the plural form of es (“ash, Fraxinus excelsior”).
* (Groningen) First attested as jesse in 1245. Etymology uncertain. The toponym may have been reinterpreted as the plural form of es (“ash, Fraxinus excelsior”). Alternative hypotheses include a derivation from the Biblical name Jesse or a derivation from an unknown prehistoric source.
