Sources & methodology
Meaning summaries use Wiktionary (CC BY-SA 4.0) and referenced name histories. Each name’s detail page includes its sources.
Names are included when their documented origin matches Dutch. The list shows up to 100 names for each sex, ordered by current popularity. Origin records are derived from Wiktionary (CC BY-SA 4.0); coverage reflects documented records, not every name in the language. Rankings and counts come from official SSA birth records. “—” means fewer than five published applications for that sex and year.
