discussion

Het woord begijnen verschijnt vrijwel tegelijkertijd in Latijnse teksten: beggini ‘ketters’ [1200-25; Gijsseling 1985] en begginas, alsschimpnaam voor religieuze vrouwen in een klooster in Waals-Brabant. De etymologie van het woord is omstreden. (bron: etymologiebank/begijn)

I suggest that, like Tanfana may have come from T.ANFANG, Beguine may have its origin in T.BIJIN. They may have been named after a lost 'religious' group, because they were in a way a continuation of it.
