Classic Dutch Baby Names For The Little Tulip In Your Life

A region renown for its tulip fields, windmills, and artistic contributions to Western culture, the Netherlands and the Dutch people gave us Rembrandt, Vincent Van Gogh, and the mastermind behind “Girl With Pearl Earring,” Johannes Vermeer.

They also gave us strong sounding Dutch baby boy names like Dirck, Barend, Jan, and Lars. And melodic baby names for girls like Annemie, Arabella, Karianne, and Verena.

Famous celebrities of Dutch descent include Audrey Hepburn, Eddie Van Halen, James Van Der Beek, Mark-Paul Gossler, and Elmo. Okay, so maybe the fuzzy red monster from “Sesame Street” isn’t Dutch. But his name sure is! And it has a vibrant origin!
