Belgian female names. Dutch surnames: history, meaning and origin of Belgian traditions of naming men

Belgium is one of the "small" Western European countries. It is located "at the crossroads" of Western Europe, "clamped" between Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and France. On the territory of 30.5 thousand km 2 "placed" more than 11.5 million! human.

Belgians are divided into 2 linguistic groups living apart from each other. In the Northern Provinces (Flanders), Flemish people live, who speak Dutch dialect, and in South (Vallonia) - Wallon. They talk in Walloon and French. Such heterogeneity, which caused a "linguistic confrontation" between the North and South, could not not affect the formation of the Belgian nameslov.

The origin of women's Belgian names

The first population, which Belgium is obliged to be its name, were Belgi. These militant tribes, distinguished by a high level of development, appeared in the Western European territory about 400-300 years BC. e. Like other Celtic people, they were pagans-druids. Worshiping plants, Belgi gave their daughters the names of the sacred trees, in which, in their opinion, gods, or good and evil spirits lived. For example, Cepessa - "Overall Cypress", Avalon - "Apple Island", Ingrider - "Luga" or Aniya - "Singing Elf. Therefore, many traditional Belgian women's names of modernity have Celtic roots.

After the arrivals of the legions, Julia Caesar, who called his new Gully's province of Belgik, the names of Latin origin began to be replenished. For example, such names of Belgijek, like Aurora - "Dawn", Vivyan - "Live", Juno - "Life Strength", ITEL - "from Italy."

After the fall of Rome, militant German tribes came to the Belgian lands. They also made a significant contribution to the formation of the nominal system. At that time, the two-on-home Belgian girls names were most popular: Galatia, Theodore, Berngard, Gundul, etc.

Before the proclamation of independence (1830), Belgium had various rulers. In it, "hosted" the Italians, the French, the Dutch, the Germans, the Austrians, Burgundy, etc., of course, such a variety of ethnic cultures could not affect the name.

All modern Belgian women's names are conditionally divided into groups:

  • indicating characteristic signs: Adeheid - "Noble View", Grizeld - "Gray Maiden", Katharina - "Clean";
  • having a religious orientation: Kristen - "The Sequence of Christ", Listil - "God is my oath";
  • associated with professional activities: Heinrik - "Home Government", Teresia - "Jince";
  • oriented with natural phenomena, plants, animals or precious stones: SUZ - "Lilia", Margarette - "Pearls", Laura - "Lavr", Ivonet - "Teas Tree", etc.

Fashion trends

For several years, Emma and Marie enters the top of the most popular women's Belgian names. In Flanders, such names like Nora and Eliza, in Vallonia - Lea and Aya are very common. However, the fashion is very quick, and how small belgiys will be called in the near future, while it is unknown.

1995

In 1995, 811 girls with the name of Laura (Laura) were born in Flanders, that in terms of the number almost twice the name, which passes at the number two, - Julie (Julie).

2000

Five years later, in Flanders, unexpectedly the most popular name for girls was Amber (Amber). In 1995, this name was in 27th place. Meanwhile, Laura remains Wallon Favorite. Other favorite Walloon names, such as Skean (Océane) and Chloé (Chloé), never enjoyed popular with Flemis. In Brussels in Top-3, such girls names like wounds (Rania) and Iman (imane) were hit.

2005

Emma (EMMA) rose to the first place. This name was part of the Popular Five since 2000. But the sharp popularity of the name of the moon (Luna) almost caught up with her. Four of the most popular Vallonia names, there are no top-25 in the Flemish list: Lea (Léa), Lucy (Lucie), Clara (Clara) and Manon (Manon). The most popular name in Brussels becomes Sarah (Sarah)

2010

The names of Emma and Marie are still included in the top of the most popular names. At the same time, new pets were designated on the horizon: Ella (ELLA), Nor (Noor), Elise (ELISE) Fien (Fien) and especially Louise (Louise). Over the past five years, everyone is tired of the "Moon" and this name fell from the second to the 26th place. In Vallonia, the most popular name of the girls was Lea (Léa), Brussels chooses Lina (Lina) and Aya (AYA).

2015

Over the past 12 years, Emma (EMMA) only twice displaced from the top of popular names. The first time it exceeded the name Lotte in 2007, and the second time - Marie (Marie) in 2013.

In any team, you can meet a person with an unusual, strange or very usually, its origin depends on the specifics of the tradition of the country in which its owner was born. For example, Dutch surnames are considered among the most funny in the world. Why - learn from this article.

Surname: from birth and for life

The very word "surname", so familiar to us today, comes from ancient Roman. This word was labeled a big and strong family with a man at the head. Then the ancient Romans included the concept of family, by the way, the slaves serving the owners. In Russia, orders were almost the same: before the cancellation of the serfdom, the peasants wore the same surname as the landowner.

Nowadays, without the last name, she is given to us from birth and most often remains with us for life. With the exception of special occasions, of course.

History of funny names of the Dutch

Dutch surnames are considered funny in all of Europe, and this has a completely reasonable historical explanation. When, in 1811, the nation was conquered by Napoleon, he issued a decree, according to which, in force, every resident of the Netherlands was obliged to acquire a French family name.

The Dutch themselves, before that, we worn only names, the law was not going to obey. And since they believed that the occupation of the country was only a temporary measure, they decided not to bother themselves and do not break the head in humiliary. And the freedom-loving people were not against the invaders of the invaders.

Thus, absolutely stupid surnames appeared, which simply impossible to pronounce without laughter. For example, Naaktgeboren, that literally denotes "Born Golly". Or Piest ("Pissing"). Whole generic branches under the name of Rotmensen were also met - translated from Dutch, "rotten people."

A few years later, the War with Napoleon was over, and the inhabitants of the country were again independent. However, contrary to expectations, the law was not canceled. So the heirs of these people have to wear inappropriate last names to this day. But they are rightfully considered the most original in the world.

What does "Van" mean in Dutch surnames?

The recognition of the generic names give them nothing to similar prefixes: "Van", "De", "Van der" and others. It is thanks to this, Dutch surnames are so widely known and abroad. For example, in the US, they are very popular.

Many Americans have the names of the Dutch automatically associate with prestige and high sufficiency. Basically, due to the fact that the rich industries were immigrants from the Netherlands. Take at least because his surname, despite the beautiful sound, the most, ordinary. There was such a town under Utrecht, he was called Tile. And the name Van-Der-Bilt (Vanderbilt) means a leaving from this town, that is, who is "from the bilt".

The Germans also have a memorable prefix Von, indicating the aristocratic status of the carrier. But the Dutch version of the Van is much more proned, and no social status behind him.

The prefix "Van" The residents of the Netherlands themselves usually write with a small letter (exception - in the initial or beginning of the offer), but it can be found abroad written with a capital letter.

Most Popular Dutch Names

In general, the Netherlands is a state, albeit small, but very socially saturated. Proximity to Belgium and Germany, a rich ethnic and religious composition, several indigenous groups of the population - all this can not have no effect on Dutch names and surnames.

If you want to know everything about the names in this country, it is worth visiting the local social insurance bank. In addition to its main task - the population insurance from all sorts of disasters, this structure and statistics of the names of residents are engaged in.

Once every three months, the Bank's employees post on the official website lists of the most popular names - male and female. You can also see the tendency to reduce or grow the popularity of each name, compared with the previous period. For any name, you can find complete information, including its origin, etymology, compliance in other languages \u200b\u200band well-known carriers.

It is curious that you will find information on the name only in the Dutch version of the site. Although it is available in many languages, including English, German, French and Spanish. But nevertheless, you need to understand Dutch to find out the most popular Dutch names and surnames.

Male names, for example, Daan, Sem, Lucas, Milan, Thomas are found almost at every step. And if we talk about popular female, then it is Emma, \u200b\u200bJulia, Sophie, Lotte, Lisa and Anna.

The origin of Dutch surnames

Today, almost any Dutch surname can be attributed to one of the four categories by origin: geographic, professional, descriptive or family:

  1. The names are widely distributed, which are derived from the region in which its carrier lives or once lived its ancestor. For example, DE VRIES. Sometimes it is not even just a region, but a concrete estate or a place where a person worked - Van Aller or Van de Vliert (literally "occurring from the farm")
  2. Another example of a typical surname is by profession. For example, Haak means a "peddler", Kuiper - "Bondar", and with de Klerk everything is not clear - the person worked as a clerk.
  3. The third group of surnames occurred from certain physical characteristics of a person or properties of its character. For example, Dik means "greasy", and de Groot is "big". Not everyone was lucky with the surname, what can you say here.
  4. The last group of surnames is associated with the origin of its carrier and transmits family ties. Addicks means nothing more than the "son of the Addika", and Evers - the Son Ever. That is, a peculiar patronymic is an analogue of what we wear, in Russia.

Interesting facts about Dutch surnames

  • Men's Dutch surnames, as well as we, are given once and for life. When the girl gets married, she has a choice. She can leave either his last name or combine her with the surname of her husband, turning into a double. Many prefer the first way if the surname of the groom is absolutely intact.
  • There are more than one hundred thousand original Dutch surnames. And many of them you will not meet anywhere else.
  • Surname de Jong means "young" and often give it the youngest family member wearing the same name. Then as an analogue de Oude "Senior" meets much less often. It is clear - to call the new name to someone who is already carrying a specific surname, only because the new member appeared in the family, not accepted.
  • The most popular Dutch surnames: Vries, Jansen, Van De Berg, Bakker, Van Dijck and Visser.
