The following names come from what looks to be a tax or payment record from Eindhoven c. 1340, written in a combination of Dutch and Latin. The names found therein display a wide range of forms, mixing Dutch and Latin and Latinized Dutch elements all within a single name. Most people are not identified by the usual <name> + <patronymic byname> structure that is found in later Dutch records; rather, someone named Arnold, a weaver, the son of Willem might have been known as Arnoldus Willelmus, Arnoldus, zoon van Willelmus, Arnoldus de Wever, Arnoldus Willelmus de Wever, or Arnoldus Textoris. Some people were referenced simply by their given name.
Women showed up fairly frequently, both in their own rights, and as other people's mothers. Their names showed the same variety as the men's; a woman could be known as someone's daughter, someone's widow, or with a descriptive or locative byname of her own.
