I would like to know if there is an English translation for the last name "Ouwerkerk." Thank you!
by wbk (BE), 2013-02-21, 09:31  like dislike  Spam?  
Ouwerkerk is a village in Zeeland. The name itself means as much as "old/older church". More common would be "van Ouwerkerk", referring to the geographical roots of the family.
BTW Meertens Instituut has a database on (family) names:

Thank you, this is helpful! I wonder if my family dropped the "Van" when they immigrated to the US. Worth looking into. Thanks, again!

Can anyone tell me what this means, from an old 16. century manuscript?

"eick dient sinte alweer met grooter begeert, die van veel menschen wordgheeert"

the best i could come up with was "wick shoud ____ again, with greater desires, those which many people desire"

please help...and if this is idomatic, please explain... thank you!!!

Are you sure you copied it properly?

it is, I know - the three Es in wordgheeert threw me off, I had to look again... but all is correct.
by wbk (BE), 2013-02-15, 21:42  like dislike  Spam?  
there's a database that might do the job:

Are you sure "eick" is the first word or might a part be missing?
Otherwise this is what I would make of it: "the oak tree serves the saint with great desire, who(/which?) is honoured by many"

It would help if you would know more about the context, there are plenty of legends that involve Saints and oaks...
Saint Quarrelsome  #702885
by Boutros (NL), 2013-04-09, 14:04  like dislike  Spam?  
Hey there,

I found an article that treats the manuscript you mentioned. It's called "Sinte Alwaer" (Saint Quarrelsome), and it is a parody on a saint story. The text should read: "Elck dient Sinte Aelwaer met grooter begheert, die van veel menschen wordt gheeert". So we can skip the oaks and translate it as: "Each serves Saint Aelwaer with greater desire, who is honoured by many."

Check the entire article here:

jumboimperialen make sense as a website name as there are many items that are roof racks.

Looking forward to your responce.

We am building a website and would like to know what - (roof rack) is in dutch.
(roof rack) is being used in the context of commercial van roof rack, please see example on link below:

I have found  imperiaal and imperialen but confused as to which makes the most sence.

I look forward to finding out more translations.

by yzzy (DE/NL), 2012-11-04, 20:11  like dislike  Spam?  
This kind of roof rack is called "imperiaal" (sg) "imperialen" (pl) in Dutch indeed. A more general term could be "universele bagagedrager".

Hallo. I am curious about the many different forms of words that I see, for example 'devil' - duivel, duvel, duyvel, duyvil. Why so many spellings? Are these different dialects?

Sorry. I thought I was on DE-EN. My comment was therefore irrelevant.
Multiple spellings of words.   #675187
by karent (UN), 2012-10-01, 09:25  like dislike  Spam?  
The different spelling are a result of regional dialect or older Dutch. Some words are spelled differently in Dutch (NL) than in Flemish Dutch (B).
