The Dutch often named their children after family members from both the father’s and mother’s families. Generally the first born son was named after the father’s father, the second son after the mother’s father, and the third son would be named after the father. This same pattern would be followed for the daughters; first daughter named after the mother’s mother, second after the father’s mother and the third after the mother. Other children could be named after deceased family members, such as siblings of the father and mother or even a deceased wife of the husband who remarried. Today, the naming patterns are not followed as much as it traditionally was in past centuries. | The Dutch often named their children after family members from both the father’s and mother’s families.
