Vissenaken
Vissenaken is a village in Belgium. It is part (deelgemeente) of the municipality Tienen.

Origin of the name
Old Latin and Dutch names: 1147 Fennache, 1214 vissnake, 1217 de Fenaco, 1226 Vesnaken. Vissenaken can be reconstituted as *Fassiniacas: this is the German name Fasso + the adjective iniacas. Vissenaken thus means: with the people of Fasso.[1]

gollark: Meh.
gollark: This did happen and I don't see the problem, inasmuch as people were mostly fairly civil about things.
gollark: Although it may not have not been before that.
gollark: I don't know about the timings, but it also seems that it didn't actually *work* for moving NSFW discussion off here much before that.
gollark: As much as I mention NSFW esolangs sometimes, that seems to have failed *too*.
