The history of the last name Vandeloo

The surname VANDELOO originated in the Netherlands, specifically in the province of Noord-Brabant. It is believed to have first appeared around the 13th century. The name is derived from the Dutch words "van" meaning "from" and "de loo" which refers to a small forest or grove.

Records show that the earliest known bearers of the name VANDELOO were from the town of Tilburg in Noord-Brabant. The name was often spelled as "Van de Loo" or "Vandeloo" in old Dutch manuscripts and church records from the area.

One of the earliest documented references to the VANDELOO surname dates back to a land deed from 1327, which mentions a "Jan van de Loo" as a landowner in the village of Udenhout, near Tilburg.

In the 15th century, a Hendrick VANDELOO was noted as a prominent merchant and alderman in the city of 's-Hertogenbosch, which was a major center of trade and commerce in the region at that time.

During the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century, a famous painter named Pieter VANDELOO (1619-1684) gained recognition for his landscapes and genre scenes depicting everyday life in Holland.

Another notable figure was Adriaan VANDELOO (1788-1857), a Dutch military officer who served under King William I of the Netherlands and fought in the Napoleonic Wars.

In the 19th century, a family of VANDELOO immigrants from Noord-Brabant settled in the United States, with one branch establishing roots in Wisconsin. Jacob VANDELOO (1825-1901) was among the first of this lineage to arrive in America.
