WikiTree profile Malan-56 created on Mar 24, 2012 by Pieter Venter
Danielsz denotes 'son of Daniel' and is therefore not the LNAB in this instance; as would have been the custom in most of Europe. The adoption of formal surnames (in this case Malan instead of Danielsz) in the Netherlands occurred during the period 1795–1811 and became entrenched as a custom thereafter. Added by Rachel Marais 01 October 2020
This remark about the LNAB is not wholly correct in this case (concerning this profile) - what is referred to here is to the 'Fransche Period' in the Netherlands when Napoleon ruled most of Europe, and introduced the harmonization of also Dutch Surnames. Patronymics preceded the later spelling forms, but already early in the Dutch Cape Colony (late 1600 hundreds, early 1700 hundreds) the patronymic form was quickly dropped, only used in the case of familial generational distinctions (for example in the case of the baptism, marriage, or death). The first Malans (see Malan-49) in the Cape were of Huguenot descent. Added by Van der Walt-440 01 October 2021
