Audrehem is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France.[3]
History
[edit ]The commune's name is of Germanic origin and dates back to at least the 9th century. It was written in Old Low Franconian as Aldomhem between 844 and 864 and again in 877, and as Aldenehem in 1164. Consisting of inflexions of the element alt "old" and the extremely common toponymic suffix hem "home, village", the literal translation would be "old home" or "old village".[4]
Geography
[edit ]The village is located 11 miles (18 km) northwest of Saint-Omer, at the junction of the D223 with the D217E road.
