[Surname] Re: Stoutenburgh
in reply to a message by Kai
Just a shot in the dark, ...I'd say "large town" ...burgh is obvious, but 'Stouten' is a bit more challenging ...usually the final -en is just a definite article like "the" ...stout, I'm guessing from the English may mean big or something similar ...

Stout means naughty in modern Dutch, but the older meaning is brave.
