Veen Brabant crest
"of the peat". The surname indicates the address or place of residence of the first ancestors in a peat district or fen colony; the name has been taken by several peat workers. The Dutch word for peat, veen, comes from Old German fanja, which means "swampy lake". Many of the Zwaanstra name were peat workers. |
