Belgian male names
On our sites, we do not provide links to magical forums or sites of magical healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations by phone, we do not have time for this.
Note! We are not engaged in healing and magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services.
The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books.
Sometimes people write to us that on some sites they saw information that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander, not true. In all our lives, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our site, in the materials of the club, we always write that you need to be an honest decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase.
People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The time has come when slander pays well. Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to engage in slandering decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deceit, slander, and fraud.
There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money. The police and other regulatory agencies are not yet able to cope with the increasing influx of "Cheat for profit" insanity.
So please be careful!

Belgium is one of the "small" Western European countries. It is located at the crossroads Western Europe, "sandwiched" between Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and France. On the territory of 30.5 thousand km 2 "located" more than 11.5 million! Human.
The Belgians are divided into 2 language groups, living separately from each other. In the northern provinces (Flanders) live the Flemings, who speak a Dutch dialect, and in the southern (Wallonia) - the Walloons. They speak Walloon and French. Such heterogeneity, which caused the "linguistic confrontation" between the North and the South, could not but affect the formation of the Belgian nomenclature.
Origin of female Belgian names
The first population, to which Belgium owes its name, were the Belgae. These warlike tribes, distinguished by a fairly high level of development, appeared in Western European territory around 400-300 BC. e. Like other Celtic peoples, they were pagan Druids. Worshiping plants, the Belga gave their daughters the names of sacred trees, in which, in their opinion, gods, or good and evil spirits, lived. For example, Kyperissa is a “plaintive cypress”, Avalon is an “apple island”, Ingridr is a “meadow” or Enya is a “singing elf. Therefore, many traditional Belgian female names modernity have Celtic roots.
After the invasion of the legions of Julius Caesar, who named his new province Gallia Belgica, the name book began to replenish with onyms of Latin origin. For example, such Belgian names as Aurora - "dawn", Viviana - "live", Juno - "life force", Itela - "from Italy".
After the fall of Rome, the warlike German tribes of the Franks came to the Belgian lands. They also made a significant contribution to the formation of the naming system. At that time, the two-basic Belgian names of girls were most popular: Galatea, Theodora, Bernhardina, Gundula, etc.
Before the Declaration of Independence (1830), Belgium had various rulers. The Italians, French, Dutch, Germans, Austrians, Burgundians, etc. "dominated" it. Of course, such a variety of ethnic cultures could not but be reflected in the name-list.
All modern Belgian female names are conditionally divided into groups:
- indicating characteristic features: Adelheid - "noble appearance", Griselda - "gray maiden", Katarina - "clean";
- having a religious orientation: Kristen - "follower of Christ", Lisail - "God is my oath";
- Related professional activity: Heinrike - "home ruler", Teresia - "reaper";
- identified with natural phenomena, plants, animals or precious stones: Suze - "lily", Margaretta - "pearl", Laura - "laurel", Ivonet - "yew tree", etc.
Fashion trends
For several years, Emma and Marie have been in the TOP of the most popular female Belgian names. In Flanders, such names as Nora and Eliza are very common, in Wallonia - Lea and Aya. However, fashion is very fleeting, and what little Belgians will be called in the near future is still unknown.
Dutch names and surnames generator
How to choose the right name for a character
Dutch ( de Nederlandse taal) belongs to the West Germanic subgroup of the Germanic languages and is common in the Netherlands and the Flemish part of Belgium (Flanders). Also, the language is sometimes called Dutch and Flemish (after the name of the two main dialects).
There are a large number of dialects of the Dutch language, however, in both the Netherlands and Belgium, the "general Dutch language" is adopted as the official standard ( Algemeen Beschaafd Nederlands).
Full, short and diminutive forms
Many names can be officially used in several different forms: in the Latinized church ( Jacobus), secular ( Jacob), short or diminutive ( Cobus, Coos, Jaap). Legislation allows children to be registered under any name, therefore, in full names Dutch and Flemings can meet any combination: Maria Margaretha Antje Vis (Maria and Margaretha - full forms, Antje- diminutive of Anna), Joannes Diderik Dibbits (Joannes- latinized form, Diderik- secular Dutch). Most often, diminutive names as passports are found in women - as an echo of traditional practice, when female names were formed from male ones using diminutive suffixes: Albert - Albertje, Hendrik - Hendrikje(despite the fact that in parallel also existed and exist forms Alberta, Hendrica).
In fact, most people in everyday life use secular, short or diminutive forms: for example, Dutch politicians Petrus Leonardus Bastiaan Antonius van Geel and Jacobus Cornelus Theresia van der Doef known as Pieter van Gel ( Pieter van Geel) and Jap van der Duf ( Jaap van der Doef).

Belgium is divided into three regions, two of which are divided into provinces: the Flemish Region, the Walloon Region, and the Brussels-Capital Region. In parallel with this, Belgium is divided into three linguistic communities: the Flemish Community (the Flemish District and the Brussels-Capital District), the Francophone Community (the Walloon District and the Brussels-Capital District), the German-speaking Community (part of the province of Liege).
Two main ethnic groups- Flemings (about 60%, speak Dutch and its numerous dialects) and Walloons (about 40%, speak French, Walloon and some other languages). Of the religions, Roman Catholic prevails, but there are many Muslims, Anglicans, Protestants, and Jews.
The main source for name statistics in Belgium is Statbel, the website of the Directorate-General for Statistics and Economic Information (Dutch abbreviation ADSEI, French DGSIE). His website has a section dedicated to names and surnames. This information is presented in its entirety in Dutch and French. It is available for download to your computer in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format.
The Statbel website provides various statistics on personal names. There are frequency lists of names with a frequency of at least 5 of all residents for 2013 - in the context of Belgium and each of the three districts. This list contains 18562 male and 22294 female names. It also gives statistics of names among three age groups: under 18 years old, from 18 to 64 years old and over 65 years old. In the first age group most common Belgian male given name Thomas, in the second group - Marc, in the third - Jean. Among women under 18 in Belgium, the most common name is Laura among Belgian women aged 18–64 – maria, among women over 65 years of age Maria.
Another kind of name statistics is the names of newborns. Data is available on the Statbel website for years since 1995, for names whose frequency is at least 5. These statistics are given by country, three districts, for male and female names.
The given data on the statistics of the most popular names in Belgium clearly reflect the number of Muslims in this country and the high birth rate among them. Muslims now make up a quarter of the population of Brussels and make this city the most Muslim in Europe. The majority of Muslims in Belgium are from Morocco (70%) and Turkey (20%).
The high percentage of Muslims in Belgium is also reflected in the naming statistics. In the top 20 male names of newborns in the Brussels-Capital District, we meet typical Muslim names in 2014 Mohamed, Ali, Amir, Ibrahim, Imran, Youssef, female Amina, Assia, Aya, Malak, Maryam, Nour, Salma other.

In any team you can meet a person with an unusual, strange or very unusual. As a rule, its origin depends on the specific traditions of the country in which its owner was born. For example, Dutch surnames considered one of the funniest 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 denoted a large strong family with a man at the head. Then the ancient Romans included in the concept of the family, by the way, and slaves serving the owners. In Russia, the rules were practically the same: before the abolition of serfdom, the peasants had the same surname as the landowner.
Nowadays, without a surname, nowhere - it is given to us from birth and most often remains with us for life. Except in special cases, of course.
The history of funny Dutch surnames
Dutch surnames are considered the funniest in all of Europe, and there is a perfectly reasonable historical explanation for this. When the nation was conquered by Napoleon in 1811, he issued a decree according to which, forcibly, every inhabitant of the Netherlands was obliged to acquire a French surname.
The Dutch themselves, who had previously only had names, were not going to obey the law. And since they believed that the occupation of the country was only a temporary measure, they decided not to bother themselves and not puzzle over inventing surnames. And the freedom-loving people were not at all opposed to mocking the invaders.
This is how absolutely stupid surnames appeared, which it was simply impossible to pronounce without laughter. For example, Naaktgeboren, which literally means "born naked." Or Piest ("pissing"). There were also entire family branches under the surname Rotmensen - translated from Dutch, “rotten people”.
A few years later, the war with Napoleon ended, and the inhabitants of the country again became independent. However, contrary to expectations, the law was never repealed. So the heirs of these people have to bear dissonant surnames to this day. But they are rightfully considered the most original in the world.
What does "van" mean in Dutch surnames?
Recognition of generic names is given by their unique prefixes: “van”, “de”, “van der” and others. Thanks to this, Dutch surnames are so widely known abroad. For example, in the USA they are very popular.
For many Americans, Dutch surnames are automatically associated with prestige and high wealth. Basically, due to the fact that the rich industrialists were from the Netherlands. Take at least But his last name, despite the beautiful sound, the most that neither is, ordinary. There was such a town near Utrecht, it was called Bilt. And the surname Van-der-Bilt (Vanderbilt) means a native of this town, that is, one who comes "from Bilt."
The Germans also have a memorable prefix von, indicating the aristocratic status of the carrier. But the Dutch version of van is much more prosaic, and there is no social status behind it.
The prefix "van" is usually written by the inhabitants of the Netherlands with a small letter (the exception is in the initials or the beginning of a sentence), but abroad it can be found written with a capital letter.
Most Popular Dutch Names
In general, the Netherlands is a state, although small, but very socially saturated. Proximity to Belgium and Germany, a rich ethnic and religious composition, several indigenous groups of the population - all this cannot but influence dutch names and last names.
If you want to know everything about the names in this country, it is worth visiting the local Social Security Bank. In addition to its main task - to insure the population against all kinds of disasters, this structure also deals with statistics on the names of residents.
Once every three months, bank employees post lists of the most popular names - male and female - on the official website. You can also notice a trend of decrease or increase in the popularity of each name, compared to the previous period. For any name, you can find complete information, including its origin, etymology, correspondences in other languages, and known speakers.
It is curious that you will find information on names only in the Dutch version of the site. Although it itself is available in many languages, including English, German, French and Spanish. But nevertheless, you need to understand Dutch in order to learn the most popular Dutch names and surnames.
Male names, for example, Daan, Sem, Lucas, Milan, Thomas are found here at almost every step. And if we talk about popular women's, then these are Emma, Julia, Sophie, Lotte, Lisa and Anna.
Origin of Dutch surnames
Today, almost any Dutch surname can be classified into one of four categories of origin: geographical, occupational, descriptive, or familial:
- Surnames that are derived from the region in which its carrier lives or his ancestor once lived are widespread. For example, de Vries. Sometimes it’s not even just a region, but a specific estate or place where a person worked - van Aller or van de Vliert (literally “originating from a farm”)
- Another example of a typical surname is by profession. For example, Haak means “peddler”, Kuiper means “cooper”, and with de Klerk everything is completely clear - the person worked as a clerk.
- The third group of surnames originated from certain physical characteristics of a person or properties of his character. For example, Dik means "fat" and de Groot means "big". Not everyone is lucky with a surname, what can I say.
- The last group of surnames is associated with the origin of its bearer and conveys family ties. Addicks means nothing more than "son of Addik" and Evers means "son of Ever". That is, a kind of patronymic - an analogue of what we wear in Russia.
Interesting facts about Dutch surnames
- Male Dutch surnames, like ours, are given once and for life. When a girl gets married, she has a choice. She can either keep her surname, or combine it with her husband's surname, turning it into a double one. Many prefer the first way, if the name of the groom is completely dissonant.
- There are over one hundred thousand original Dutch surnames. And many of them you will not find anywhere else.
- The surname de Jong means "young" and is often given to the youngest family member of the same name. Whereas the analogue de Oude "senior" is much less common. It is understandable - it is not accepted to call a new name someone who already has a specific surname, only because a new member has appeared in the family.
- The most popular Dutch surnames are Vries, Jansen, van de Berg, Bakker, van Dijck and Visser.
