Dutch[edit]
Etymology[edit]
First attested as in den lande van accoy in 1305. Compound of an unclear first element of non-Germanic origin and ooi (“land next to water”). The first element might be derived from Akko (“Acre”) as a reference to the Crusades. The interpration of the first element as Middle Dutch Akke (“a personal name”) is incorrect.
