The name Faurndau - first mentioned in 875 AD is Furentouua - is particularly interesting for name research, as it seems very unusual both for a place name and phonetically. While older research had considered a derivation from the Latin Feronia dea, new research suggests that the name is an event name that refers to the not uncommon flooding of the Fils. Derived from Old High German (ir)furen (to destroy, to rob) and ouwa (valley), the name means "settlement on the destructive river". wikipedia.org/wiki/Faurndau
