In summary

From Middle Low German venne, from Old Saxon fenni, from Proto-West Germanic *fani, from Proto-Germanic *fanją.
The word did exist in High German (Old High German fenni), but Middle High German venne is rare and the word was later lost in Upper German and most dialects of Central German. The modern form is therefore based chiefly on the Low German lineage.
Cognate with Dutch veen, Walloon fagne (also Walloon fa and Walloon fwè, both only in toponymy) and French fange.
