Dutch names have a rich history and are influenced by various factors such as geography, religion, and culture. Many Dutch first names are Germanic in origin, such as Karel (from the word “kerel” meaning man/guy) or Koen (meaning brave). In addition to these Germanic names, many first names are biblical in origin, deriving from Hebrew, Greek, and Latin - the languages of the Bible. The names of saints were and still are popular in the Netherlands.

Dutch surnames are usually derived from locations and include prefixes like de (the), van (from), van de, van der, van den (from the), or te, ter, ten (on). The Dutch naming conventions arrange names as follows: [first given name] [other given name(s)] [FAMILY NAME]
