Vissenaken

Vissenaken

Vissenaken is a village in Belgium. It is part ("deelgemeente") of the municipality Tienen.

It is located north of the city of Tienen and is divided into two parishes: Sint-Maartens and Sint-Pieters.

The saint Himelin is known only in Vissenaken.

Origin of the name

Old Latin and Dutch names: 1147 "Fennache", 1214 "vissnake", 1217 "de Fenaco", 1226 "Vesnaken". Vissenaken can be reconstituted as "*Fassiniacas": this is the German name Fasso + the adjective iniacas. Vissenaken thus means: with the people of Fasso [Paul Kempeneers. Toponymie van Vissenaken.] .
