Roermond was called Ruregemunde in 1130. The first part of the word refers to the river Roer, which is said to be named after a Celtic-Germanic water goddess "Rura". The second part of the word seems to refer to the "mouth" of the Roer, but this is less likely as the Roer and the Maas came together at the Weerd until ±1340. Then the Maas broke its banks at Beegden and the Hambeek, 1 km southwest of Roermond, became a second outlet of the Roer in the Maas, thus creating a delta estuary. Other explanations, i.e. that "monde" would refer to a (possibly fortified) hill, a bridge or a Frankish castle, are not certain either.
