Philippa, Etymologisch woordenboek van het Nederlands, 2003–2009, sub verbo"Voorde" equivalent of proto-Celtic * φritu- Latinized in ritum, old Welsh laughs, modern rhyd and protofrançais roy, king / ray, rai (still in place names), equivalents of Latin portus.This place name thus means the "public ford" is an important ford, managed by the tribe or the people and often defended by a fort or a castle.
