The history of the last name Deraad

The surname DERAAD has its origins in the Netherlands, dating back to the 16th century. It is believed to have derived from the Dutch word "raad," which means "counsel" or "advice." The prefix "de" was commonly added to surnames in the Netherlands during that time period.

The earliest known record of the DERAAD surname appears in the baptismal records of the Dutch Reformed Church in Amsterdam, where a child named Pieter DERAAD was baptized in 1597. This suggests that the name had already been established in the region by the late 16th century.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the DERAAD surname was primarily concentrated in the provinces of North Holland and South Holland, particularly in the cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam. It is possible that the name was originally associated with individuals who worked as advisors or counselors in these urban centers.

One notable figure in Dutch history who bore the DERAAD surname was Nicolaas DERAAD (1675-1743), a renowned painter from Amsterdam known for his exquisite still-life works. His paintings can be found in several museums, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Another individual of note was Jan DERAAD (1792-1867), a Dutch politician and lawyer who served as a member of the House of Representatives in the Netherlands during the mid-19th century.

In the 19th century, the DERAAD surname began to appear more frequently in other parts of Europe and beyond, likely due to emigration from the Netherlands. For instance, there are records of a family named DERAAD residing in the German city of Hamburg in the 1860s.

One of the earliest known DERAAD individuals outside of Europe was Willem DERAAD (1825-1899), a Dutch immigrant who settled in South Africa in the 1850s. He became a successful farmer and landowner in the Cape Colony.

Towards the end of the 19th century, several members of the DERAAD family emigrated to the United States, settling in various parts of the country, including New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. One notable figure from this time period was Hendrick DERAAD (1871-1942), a Dutch-American businessman who established a successful import-export company in New York City.

As the DERAAD surname spread beyond the Netherlands, various spelling variations emerged, such as DERAAAD, DERAAT, and DERAADT. However, the original spelling of DERAAD remained the most common throughout its history.
