== Etymology == The name Zegge comes from low-lying and often submerged pasture, where a lot of sedge (zegge in Dutch) occurs and also reed grass that is popularly referred to as zegge. The village "Zegge" is not the same as (the adjacent) "Seppe". This is an airport that was officially named Breda International Airport in 2014, but is still popularly called Seppe.
