Surnames in the Netherlands
Although some families, particularly the nobility, adopted surnames as early as the 16th century, a surname was not common in the Northern Netherlands until civil registry of a surname commenced August 18, 1811 by Napoleon's decree when the Netherlands was part of the French Empire. This system was adopted in the Southern Netherlands in 1796.
