Etymology

[edit]

First attested as engmeir in 1256. Etymology unknown. The oldest attestation would suggest a compound of eng (pasture) and meer (pool, cut-off river bend). A different interpretation reads the first element as a contraction of in and the definite article ge. A link with Latin imber (rain) has also been proposed.
