Etymology
The original meaning of the name is "beechwood" or "beech forest" (in modern Dutch: Beukenhout). The name is derived from the Middle Dutch Bucghenhout from Old Dutch Bukenholt. Buken comes from Proto-Germanic *Шаблон:Lang (Modern Dutch: Шаблон:Lang, Old English: Шаблон:Lang (beeches)), holt from *hulta (Modern Dutch: Шаблон:Lang, Old English: Шаблон:Lang (forest)). Buggenhout still contains a forested area called Buggenhoutbos.[4]
History
The village was first mention in 1125. It used to belong to the Duchy of Brabant. Due to internal feuds, the area was confiscated. The forest was declared crown land, and the village of Buggenhout became two heerlijkheden (landed estates). After the French Revolution, Buggenhout was transferred to East Flanders.[4]
