Etymology

edit

Borrowed from Latin Flevo, a lake or inland sea near or identical to the Zuiderzee, mentioned by Pomponius Mela in De chorographia. The element Vlie, as in Vlieland, is thought to be cognate, with both names being derived from the same root as the verb vloeien (to flow).

    • 1877 December 6, Daniël van Eck, quotee, Handelingen Tweede Kamer 1877-1878[1], Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal, page 192:
      Het spijt mij dat ik nog altijd moet spreken van de Zuiderzee en dat het der vorige Regering niet gegeven is om die in eene provincie Flevoland te herscheppen. Ik hoop dat deze Regering krachtig het verdienstelijke werk van hare voorgangster zal voortzetten en wij ons binnen kort over de aanwinst van eene nieuwe provincie zullen verheugen.
      I regret that I still have to speak of the Zuiderzee and that it was not possible for the previous Government to transform it into a province of Flevoland. I hope that this Government will vigorously continue the meritorious work of its predecessor and that we will soon rejoice in the acquisition of a new province.
