Dutch Last Names
|
| Expression |
^[A-Z][a-z]+((e(m|ng)|str)a)$ |
| Description |
How do you tell whether a last name is of Dutch origin? This pattern captures the -enga's, -stra's, and -ema's. There are also other Dutch names that don't end with these three "suffixes" but you know it's Dutch if it ends with either of those three. |
