Person talk:Erkenraad Klaas Jansdr (1)


Patronymic name [24 December 2010]

Klaas, I am not sure if you wanted Klaas in the title here or not. --Jennifer (JBS66) 06:39, 24 December 2010 (EST)

Yes, not only because of Klaas, but the real patronym is Klaas, and her fathers patronym is Jans, you'll find this constructions with even more generations where all are a combination of patronyms without a surname.--Klaas (Ekjansen) 06:48, 24 December 2010 (EST)
Goodness, I remember you explaining this to be before. I've done so little work on early Dutch that I keep forgetting they included not only their father's name but grandfather's as well. Thank you for the explanation, again :-) --Jennifer (JBS66) 06:53, 24 December 2010 (EST)
