Steenbecque

Steenbecque (French pronunciation: [stɛ̃bɛk]; Dutch: Steenbeke or Steenbeeke) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France.

Steenbecque has historically been attested as Steenbeka in 1183. The toponym Steenbecque is of Germanic origin, deriving from a Low German dialect, ultimately from Proto-West-Germanic *stain. Within the Nord and Pas-de-Calais departments, the Germanic hydronym *-bak(i) entered the French language via Low German, and took on two forms: the Germanic form -beek and Romance -becque (also -bec, -becques).
