I used the Create Feature Class > From XY Table to convert it into a Feature Class. The raw csv file that was downloaded has to be converted to a geographic data. Conversion and Filter in a Desktop GIS tool (ArcMap 10.2) So foreign places are also included inside the downloaded file! To keep only Belgian I got an external Shapefile from the national border of Belgium and I did an Intersect (it is als possible de get directly only the Belgian places in the Overpass query).

The origins are often seen in the suffixes and this leads us to think that all places with similar suffixes have the same origin. These influences have shaped the toponyms (place names) and it is still possible today to retrace the origins of most names of villages and towns. It lies between The Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg and France. Despite being so small – around 30 528 km²/11 787 sq mi or the size of Massachusetts – it has a marvelous cultural landscape and has successively received, along history, Celtic, Latin, Germanic, Saxon, Dutch, French and German influences.

The question that could come to mind is: Are there other “beek” in or around Brussels? Only around Brussels? What does this suffix mean? Since terrorist attacks in Paris and in Brussels, the world learned the existence of some of the “beek” places in Brussels: Molenbeek, Maalbeek, Schaarbeek.
