right|263px|thumb|Huisje Mostinckx, a historic dwelling in Sint-Martens-Bodegem Sint-Martens-Bodegem (locally known as: Beugem) is a historic village that is now part of Dilbeek. It has 2638 inhabitants.
== Toponymy == For a long time it was assumed that the mention 'Bodenghem' in the founding charter of the abbey of Affligem applied to Bodegem, but this is nowadays contested because of a possible confusion with the village of Beugem, close to Moorsel. The fact that the nucleus of the settlement was founded very early on can however be linguistically proven (Bodegem < Bodingahaim). Another evidence is the division of the fields around Bodegem, which follows a mansus system, indicating agricultural exploitation in post-Carolingian times.
