The history of the last name Bareng

The surname BARENG is believed to have originated in the Netherlands during the 16th century. It is thought to be derived from the Dutch word "baren," which means "to bear" or "to give birth," combined with the suffix "-ing," which denotes "people" or "family." This suggests that the name may have originally referred to a family involved in midwifery or childbirth.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the BARENG surname is found in the Dutch town of Leiden in 1587, where a man named Pieter BARENG is mentioned in local records. The name also appears in the nearby town of Delft in the late 16th century, indicating its spread across the region.

In the 17th century, the BARENG name can be found in various Dutch archives and historical documents, such as the records of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). This suggests that some members of the BARENG family may have been involved in maritime trade or exploration during this period.
