<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Indeed, this would have been
my "go to" source as well. Also note that in the etymology section
they call it a name based on a "toponiem", so it indeed is unrelated
to our other word "pultrum", it seems. "Pulterum" seems to
be its older form. </p>

In 2007 in totaal zo'n 329, volgens <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2urtamh" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/2urtamh</a><br>

Wel valt op dat in het Noorden de distributie zich niet verder uitstrekt
richting Duitsland. <a href="http://www.verwandt.de/karten/absolut/pultrum.html" target="_blank">http://www.verwandt.de/karten/absolut/pultrum.html</a>
geeft ook geen enkele treffer voor Duitsland.<br>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">It may very well be
Frisian-derived. Even though my area is not really<br>
close to Frisia, we had a share of Frisian "immigrants". There's a<br>
town nearby called Vriezenveen. It came into existence because the<br>
local lord invited Frisians to colonise the wetlands in the area. The<br>
Saxon dialect there has a Frisian substrate. For example, they call it<br>
"Vjenne", whereas we say "Venne".<br>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Subject: Etymology<br>
<br>
There are numerous place names ending with <i>-um</i> along the Netherlands’ coast, several also on Germany’s North Sea
coast. Possibly naively, I associate them with Frisian.<br>
<br>
Does this “suffix” have the same etymology? What is it?<br>
<br>
Please bear in mind that the Frisian-speaking area used to be much, much larger
than it is now, that many Hollandish and Saxon dialects have Frisian substrata.<br>
