Hoorn Nederland
De herkomst van de plaatsnaam Hoorn - oude spellingvarianten zijn Horn(e) en Hoirne - is niet zeker. Mogelijk stamt deze van Hornicwed. Het middeleeuwse Hornic betekent Hoek, en wed of wedor is een middeleeuwse woord voor 'water'. Talloze plaatsen en buurten in Nederland heten ook nu nog Heurne, Huurne of Horn. Hornicwed zou dan slaan op de ligging in een hoek in de kustlijn. Ook wordt weleens gesteld dat het gaat om een hoek in de dijk, maar dit roept twijfels op: de kust van de Zuiderzee lag toen verder van Hoorn dan nu: de Westfriese Omringdijk liep van oorsprong van het West in een rechte lijn naar Schardam, en voor deze dijk lag nog buitendijks land, waarop ook het door Velius genoemde dorp Dampten lag. Dit gebied is pas vanaf 1391 - toen de oude dijk opgegeven werd - overstroomd, nadat een nieuwe dijk met een hoek verder landinwaarts gelegd was, en de eerste aanzet voor de baai van het Hoornse Hop ontstond. Hoorn bestond toen echter al, evenals de naam. We kunnen voor Hornicwed ook denken aan de betekenis die we ook nog in ons huidige woord uithoek zien, namelijk een zeker (bewoond?) gebied op enige afstand, en dan gelegen aan het water (wed). De schrijver van de 'Origo Civitatis Hornensis' gaat ervan uit dat Hoorn van Damphoorn afgeleid is. Damphoorn is de middeleeuwse naam voor een kruid waarvan men fluitjes kon maken; deze groeiden volop in het buitendijkse gebied van Hoorn. Kroniekschrijver Velius verwerpt deze verklaring omdat er geen oude vermeldingen zijn waar
