When the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages was introduced in 1811 after the French model, every person was required
to adopt a permanent surname or family name.
Before 1811 In Friesland and other parts of the Netherlands, most people were used to adopt the patronymic or father’s name, e.g. Ewold, the son of Ebel, would call himself Ewold Ebels. Geertje daughter of Jakob = Geertje Jakobs
After 1811 a lot of people in Friesland still used patronymics.
Willemke Fritzers de Wit = Willemke daughter of Fritzer de Wit.
Gerrit Johannes Hekkema = Gerrit son of Johannes Hekkema.
Patronymics is not a given name.
