Re: Combining surnames
Anything is possible ...but the -en ending is usually (I believe) a definitive article in many Germanic languages. For instance, "the bank" in Norwegian is banken. So if Devries is "of Friesland", the "-en" ending might be something like "the Fries _______"...with the _____ implied?
