The inventor of the surname is difficult to pinpoint, as surnames originated in different cultures at different times. In Europe, the use of surnames began in the Middle Ages, around the 11th to 13th centuries. This often occurred to distinguish people based on their occupation, ancestry, or location.
In the Netherlands, surnames often originated from patronymics (names derived from the father's first name) or from geographical locations. A well-known name in the history of surnames is "Janssen," which means "son of Jan."
