Does the name Flanders mean anything?

[Spyro123]

The only thing i know is "Some people in a English county, or someone who immigrated from the low countries" and "Its a region in north Belgium" But i can't find a meaning for the name Flanders. Its a very mysterious name.

From Wiki
The Flemish Region of Belgium (or Flanders) is a Dutch-speaking area in the country's north, and one of 3 Belgian regions. The national capital, Brussels, considered its own region, lies near Flanders’ southern edge. Antwerp is a port city and major diamond trade center with a reputation for fashion design. Its Royal Museum of Fine Arts has a large collection of paintings by Flemish masters.

Ned Flanders from The Simpsons was named after a street in Portland, Oregon, where Matt Groening (the creator of Simpsons) grew up. A lot of characters from the show were named after streets here.

 

[NayruKasai]

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

- John McCrae -
