Etymology
From nl dum Antwerpen, apparently from nl la-med Antwerpo, which, if of nl gem - origin, like nl frk - or nl ofs -, could be from nl gmw-pro *anda- against + a noun derived from gmw-pro *werpan to throw, meaning something like "land thrown up at something, alluvial deposit."Room, Adrian (1 August 1997). Placenames of the World. McFarland & Company. p. 32
Folk etymology derived it from nl handwerpen hand-throwing, from nl hand + nl werpen, referring to a giant in Flemish legend named Antigoon, said to sever and fling the hands of any boatmen of the Scheldt who did not pay his toll.Legenden en Mythen Legende van Brabo en de reus Antigoon. More at Antwerp.
