== Etymology ==
The old spelling of the municipality's name is Saventhem, but the oldest notation of Zaventem is ''Saventa'', which dates from records of 1117. There are several hypotheses on the meaning of the name. One of them refers to the seven pools or small ponds that existed in the area during medieval times. Another one refers to small ponds in a sandy environment (sabulous clay). Others interpret the name Zaventem as a reconfiguration of ''zeven tommen'' (meaning ''seven (Gallo-Roman) tumuli'' or ''burial mounds'') or ''zaaivelden'' (meaning ''field for sowing'').〔(The investaris van het bouwkundig erfgoed - Zaventem ), Inventaris Onroerend Erfgoed, Retrieved 2014-07-22.〕
