Lake, meer means lake. Achtermeer is best translated as back lake, or behind lake. Assuming achter in this case is used as this. It could also mean the lake of Acht. Since Acht could also be the name of a location. See Markermeer.

TY. Funny how German and Dutch switch meaning here:

  • meer – der See
  • zee – das Meer, die See.
