Research Notes

ANDRIES is this forefather's Dutch christian name, meaning ANDREW in English. BRADT is his surname. ARENTSEN, also spelt ARENTSE, ARENTS, ARENTSZ, is this man's patronymic. The patronymic was used in the Netherlands itself by most countryfolk in stead of a surname up till the reign of Napoleon Lodewijk, who, in 1811 enacted a law requiring all his subjects to assume a surname. It was used in 17th century Nieuw Nederland as well, and up till the nineteenth century in Dutch areas of New York, often with the christian name only, often in combination with the christian name and surname. Earlier on, the women had their own form of the patronymic ending in "dochter", meaning "daughter", and abbreviated as "-d", such as Barentsd, (daughter of Barent). In Norway, Sweden and Denmark the patronymic was used into the nineteenth century. Icelanders even today bear the corresponding male or female patronymic only, having no surnames whatsoever. The type of patronmyc that became popular amongst the Dutch, having the ending -sen, -se, -s, or -sz, was itself a shortening of the original, longer male patronymic ending in -szoon. Thus ARENTSZOON, meaning ARENT'S SON, from which ARENTSEN, ARENTSE, ARENTS and ARENTSZ all derive. - BdFM
