The Kempen (formerly called Kempenland or Toxandria) is a sandy region in northeastern Belgium and the Dutch province of North Brabant, south of the Eindhoven-Tilburg line.
The name of the region is a corruption of the word Campinia or Campina, which is Latin for open plain. In the late Roman period, the region was called Toxandria. The Toxandrians are also known as Eburones in the writings of Julius Caesar. Toxandria refers to yew, which ebur in Eburones also refers to.
