Maurik

Etymology
Potentially attested as Mannaricio around 300, attested with certainty as maldericke in 997. Etymology uncertain. The identification of Maurik with Mannaricio is doubtful. Two etymologies have been proposed for the (controversial) oldest attestation: a derivation from 🇨🇬 with collectivising suffix and a derivation from an unidentified prehistoric name with the suffix. The newer attestations are derived either from 🇨🇬 or 🇨🇬 with collectivising suffix.
