Venture to the Netherlands with Dutch boy names. From vintage treasures to those trending with the country’s parents today, this group of greats has something for every parent’s style. Not only that, but many conjure up images of the quaint seaside nation’s tulip fields, windmills, and villages. Meet some of them with us.
Dutch boy names aren’t common stateside, but there are some you may have heard a time or two. Brooklyn was derived from a Dutch town called Breukelen. Sure, he’s more common for girls, but he stands fine as a male name today. Harlem is also derived from a Dutch town, this time from a place called Haarlem. Place names like Cairo, Phoenix, and Austin are always in style, so don’t shy away from giving these guys a try. Ripp is another Dutch darling you may know. He’s more of a surname in the U.S., but he’s also a cool moniker with cowboy vibes. Meaning “strength,” he’s a one-syllable wonder we wouldn’t mind seeing more often.
Browsing Dutch boy names that are variants of others is a great way to honor someone without repeating a name. This lets everyone retain a little individuality while still paying homage to an important person in your life. Juriaan is a variant of George, for example. His sound fits in stateside, too, working well with many of today’s popular boy names. Steef is in the same branch of names as Stephen, while Bastijn is a friend of Sebastian.
Popular Dutch boy names today don’t always come from the country itself but are still worthy of contention, especially if you plan on visiting the country with your kiddo. Some common cuties are shared between the U.S. and the Netherlands, like Noah. Lucas is also beloved in both countries, along with Levi, Liam, and James. Finn is a familiar face in the U.S. who’s far more common in the Netherlands, much like Luca, Adam, and Bram. Other popular picks in the Netherlands are unique to the nation, including Daan, Teun, and Noud.
