The history of the last name Lenderink

The surname Lenderink has its origins in the Netherlands, with records dating back to the 16th century. It is believed to have originated from the Dutch word "lende," meaning "loin" or "loins," and the suffix "-ink," which was commonly used to indicate a diminutive or smaller version of something. This suggests that the name may have initially referred to a person with a slim or slender build.

One of the earliest documented instances of the name can be found in the records of the Dutch Reformed Church in Amsterdam, where a Gysbert Lenderinck was mentioned in 1599. The variation in spelling, with the addition of the "c" at the end, was not uncommon during that time period.

In the 17th century, the name appears to have spread to other parts of the Netherlands, with records showing individuals named Lenderink residing in cities such as Utrecht and Leiden. During this period, the name was sometimes associated with specific occupations or trades, with references to individuals like Jan Lenderink, a miller mentioned in a document from 1647.

As the name gained prominence, it began to appear in various historical records and manuscripts. One notable example is the mention of a Pieter Lenderink in the "Oud-Rechterlijk Archief" (Old Judicial Archive) of the city of Zwolle in the late 18th century.
