roosteren
Dutch
Etymology
First attested as rustern in 1201. Etymology nl unknown. Potentially derived from a hydronym. A proposed reading of the toponym as a compound of nl rood red and the toponym nl Susteren is incorrect. Formerly called Schettereind. The village received its current name relatively recently; the former bearer of the toponym became known as nl Oud-Roosteren.
See also li Roostere.
