==Etymology== The name ''Sciphol'' appears in an official document from 1447.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Sow6AAAAcAAJ&pg=PA65|title=Inventaris van het Amsterdamsche Archief, beschreven door P. Scheltema|first=P.|last=Scheltema|date=15 January 1866|publisher=Stads-Drukkerij|via=Google Books}}</ref> According to the airport's media department,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://nieuws.schiphol.nl/waar-komt-de-naam-schiphol-vandaan/? |title=Waar komt de naam Schiphol vandaan? |access-date=3 July 2020 |archive-date=24 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200924120212/https://nieuws.schiphol.nl/waar-komt-de-naam-schiphol-vandaan/ |url-status=live }}</ref> the name of Schiphol might have several origins, all contested: # As graveyard of ships. The [[Haarlemmermeer]] was a big, wild water mass, where many ships found their demise. # As ship-haul, where ships were transferred from one water to another. # As name of a coppice in marshy land. In the [[Gothic language]], it indicated an area of low-lying wetland ("hol" or "holl") where wood (scip) could be extracted. However, Gothic has never been spoken in the Netherlands.
