A city in Germany; not a common English vocabulary word but a proper noun.
Emden (or Emda in some historical spellings) is a city in northern Germany on the Ems River. The name comes from the river plus a Germanic suffix, predating modern German.
Emden is famous in history because it was a major harbor city where English merchants and Protestant refugees would shelter, making it a crucial medieval trading post that influenced English colonial development.
