Re: Here's an interesting one for ya
I checked an online dictionary and it says:
"steen" means "gem" in modern Dutch. But of course it's the same word as English "stone" or German "Stein", so I suppose in Old Dutch (?) it had the very meaning.
So there must be some stone castle or citadel behind the name.
