Studiën in Nederlandsche Namenkunde

A series of onomastic essays examines the origins, forms, and meanings of Dutch names, addressing topics such as satirical nicknames for towns and villages, place-names beyond national borders, urban and family names from specific regions, medieval name records, Frisian name-forms, a historical register of inhabitants, and aspects of regional toponymic folklore. Each study combines linguistic etymology with historical and dialectal evidence, provides annotated name lists and registers, and highlights patterns of regional variation and social usage. Together the pieces illustrate methods for tracing name history and invite further investigation into local naming practices and their cultural significance.
