The Dutch have a long tradition of naming their children after religious figures. Many of these names are not found in other countries, such as “Jodocus” or “Hendrik”. The Dutch are fond of giving their children Dutch surnames as well as first names.

This is because they have a strong sense of personal identity. This means that it is not uncommon for Dutch people to use two names, one as a first name and the other as a surname.
