Talk:Rijndael

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Probably shouldn't go in the article, but I've heard from a reliable source that it was going to be called Rijndaem but was changed to Rijndael as the first name was used by a mental institution (googling about I presume this was Rijndam Rehabilitation in Rotterdam). --Imran 13:18, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Non-Nederlands was changed to Dutch recently. Dutch was avoided in the original case because the author (me) had learned from more than one citizen of Holland that 'Dutch' evoked unpleasant memories of occupation and that other terms were preferred. The edit summary noted that they (the inventors) were Belgian, and in fact they are. But they are 'Dutch' speaking Belgians. Though I presume they speak French and English as well.
