Unconfirmed histories

There are more stories associated with the name Nigtevecht for which I have found no proof. One of these is that a naval vessel called "the Nigtevecht" ended up in the fleet of one of the Kings of England together with a vessel called "The Vreeland". I found old records of ships loaned from the Dutch to English kings but no evidence of this, nor of them being seized by the English.

Origin of the Nigtevecht coat of arms

The Blue-white with Keys upwards is the Coat of Arms Nigtevecht, in Dutch "Wapen van Nigtevecht."  The sample seen here is the original Coat of Arms which was for centuries in use as an added family weapon, to denote "lord of", within the coat of Arms of a nobility family. This was used for the Town Nigtevecht. It's use ended after local regions merged into a larger council area.

The Name Nigtevecht

According vandereem.org the name can also have originated from "Niftar", which became "Niftarlaka", meaning  "along a lake or water-run", which was replaced with "Niftarvechta", said to mean "along the Vecht". The word "Laka" is interesting as it sound familiar to English and is not far from the English use. We find a similar sound when using "Nigh to the Vecht", near to a water-run". The district of Nigtevecht was as far back as before 1027 occupied by the Frisians.
