Etymology
From nl dum Alcmāer, from nl odt Alkmare, odt Alcmare, odt Alcmere, odt Allecmere. Compound of an unclear first element and either nl odt mere lake or odt mare watercourse. The first element has been variously linked to odt alk crow and odt *alke mud. A derivation from gem-pro *alha temple or gem-pro *alha moose is unlikely. Compare nl Alkemade.
