Help[Surname] Re: origin of the dutch surname MONDRIAAN
in reply to a message by Jim Young
From what I can read in this is that Mondriaal, Mondria and Mondriaan are variants of each other. It's not very clear if it comes from Monreal or not (nothing suggests that is does, but it could be a variant as well), Monreal would be a Spanish or Aragonese surname derived from any of a number of places called Monreal.
btw: I've always found Meertens not very useful when it comes to name meanings, it only lists variants instead of meanings.
