Vlierzele
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vlierzele is a small village in the Denderstreek at the edge of the Flemish Ardennes, the hilly southern part of East-Flanders, Belgium. It belongs to the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. Vlierzele has a surface area of 669 ha.
Etymologically the name Vlierzele is derived from Fliteritsale (in 639) and Vliendersele (in 1412). This is a combination of either the plant name "vlier", which is Dutch for "elder", or the person's name Flether, and "sale" or "sele", which both mean place of residence in Old-Dutch[1].
