Summary "Nederlandsche Doopnamen: Naar Oorsprong en Gebruik" by Jacobus Joannes Graaf is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a comprehensive guide to Dutch baptismal names, exploring their origins and usages within a cultural and religious context. It is particularly relevant for those interested in the history of names and the influence of Christianity on Dutch society. The opening of the text presents an introduction that discusses the significance of proper name selection during baptism, advocating for the use of names from saints to guide and protect the baptized individuals. Graaf reflects on the historical tension between traditional Dutch names and the names of Christian saints, especially highlighting the influence of past customs and regional variations, particularly among the Frisians. He also emphasizes the need for a modern understanding and appreciation of Dutch names, suggesting that the vitality of these names has often been overshadowed by Latin and Greek forms in ecclesiastical contexts.
