Leiden

Etymology
Borrowed from, which see. Leiden has historically been associated with the Roman outpost and so it was thought the name Leiden had to be derived from this 🇨🇬 name. This particular castellum was however closer to the town of, whereas the Roman settlement near modern-day Leiden was called Matilo.

Etymology
From, older , originally the name of the village now called , then transferred to the younger nearby settlement. Formerly hypothesized to be from, but this is derived from the past stem of , thus requiring an original -d-, not -þ- (see ). The early ei-spelling also speaks against this derivation. Instead probably from a, from + the placename suffix.

The usual latinisation was taken from the name of a defunct historical settlement north of Katwijk, which was erroneously identified with Leiden. There is in all likelihood no relation between the two names.
