==Origins of the name== The first mentions (Weretha) were found in texts from the Abbey of Sint-Bertinus in Sint-Omaars, dating from 830. The Old Dutch word "Weretha" dates from the time that the village of Werken was still on the sea-front, with a meaning equating to that of the English word 'haven' (the literal meaning would be "ashore on the water"). In modern Dutch werken (uncapitalised) is coincidentally the verb 'to work'.
