Most Dutch people have the name "van" or "von" or "van der" or "van den" in their names.What's these names for? Do they have any meanings? Do they have any history or something?
DUTCH PEOPLE,what's the meaning of the name "van" in most of the Dutch people's names?
von is actually German.
It means "from" or "of".
van Damme would be "from Damme"
van der Hoot would be "of the Hoot" van den would be plural of van der.
It's like saying Adam of the town of Eden, for example; or Adam of the tribe of Eden, etc.
It does tell the History of the person.
Merry Christmas!!!!
Reply:It means " off ".
The origin of Dutch comes of the old Germanic language.
Reply:Due to the quikiness of the language, that describes the vehicle they drive...in this case, a Van.
You might also see Ernst coupe Misner.
or you might see Alfred sedan Ananjie
They do seem to love their cars there...
Reply:von is Dutch for "the"
