The village was an East Frisian chieftain's seat in the Middle Ages. The village of was probably first mentioned in the Werden land register in the 10th century as ''Uuerue'' and certainly in the 10th to 11th centuries as ''Uuiggeldasgihueruia''. The first part of the word developed from the proper name Wigold, the second part refers to a terp (''warft''; an artificial dwelling mount). This means that the place name could be translated as "warft of Wigold”.<ref name="Linde"/>
