The history of the last name Intveld

The surname INTVELD originates from the Netherlands, with its earliest recorded examples dating back to the 16th century. The name is believed to have derived from the Dutch words "int" meaning "in the" and "veld" meaning "field," suggesting that the original bearers of this name lived or worked in a particular field or farmland area.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the INTVELD name can be found in the Dutch archives from the city of Amsterdam, where a Jan INTVELD is mentioned as a merchant in the year 1587. Another early record comes from the town of Delft, where a Pieter INTVELD is listed as a landowner in the year 1612.

In the 17th century, the INTVELD name appears to have spread to other parts of the Netherlands, with records showing individuals bearing this surname in cities like Rotterdam and Utrecht. During this time period, various spellings of the name were used, such as INTVELT, INTVELDE, and INTVELDEN.

One notable individual with the INTVELD surname was Cornelis INTVELD (1677-1741), a Dutch painter known for his landscape and architectural paintings. His works can be found in several museums across the Netherlands and Europe.

In the 19th century, the INTVELD name found its way to other parts of the world, particularly through Dutch emigration. For instance, Hendrik INTVELD (1825-1898), a Dutch-born farmer, settled in South Africa in the mid-1800s and established a successful agricultural enterprise.
