The history of the last name Vanderlip

The surname VANDERLIP has its origins in the Netherlands, dating back to the 16th century. It is believed to have originated from a Dutch place name, possibly referring to a locality near the city of Ede in the province of Gelderland. The name is derived from the Dutch words "van der" meaning "from the" and "lip" meaning "lip" or "edge," potentially alluding to a location near a river or a slope.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the VANDERLIP surname can be found in the Dutch Reformed Church records of the town of Ede, where a family bearing this name was mentioned in the late 1500s. It is likely that the name was initially associated with a specific geographic feature or landmark in this area.

Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, various spellings of the name appeared in Dutch records, including VanderLip, VanderLippe, and VanderLype. This variation in spelling was common during that time period, as standardized spelling conventions were not yet established.

In the 19th century, the VANDERLIP name began to spread beyond the Netherlands as Dutch immigrants ventured to other parts of the world. One notable figure was Frank Arthur Vanderlip (1864-1937), an American banker and financier who co-founded the Federal Reserve System and served as the president of the National City Bank of New York.

Another individual of note was John Mitchell Vanderlip (1804-1862), an American lawyer and politician who served as a member of the United States House of Representatives from New York during the 1840s.

Other historical figures bearing the VANDERLIP surname include:

1. Jacob Vanderlip (1781-1865), a Dutch-American farmer and landowner in Pennsylvania.
2. John Vanderlip (1859-1941), an American businessman and philanthropist from California.
3. Lois Vanderlip (1892-1986), an American poet and children's book author.
4. Burr Vanderlip (1869-1939), an American lawyer and judge from California.
5. Adriaan Vanderlip (1918-2010), a Dutch painter and sculptor known for his abstract works.
