Etymology
First attested as ganderon in the late 11th century. Derived from an ancient hydronym. The hydronym has cognates in a large area of Western Europe and may be derived from gem-pro *gandu opening, gap. An alternative hypothesis proposes a derivation from Pre-Indo-European *gand- "gravel". Compare nl Genderbeemd and nl Genderdal.
