Van Beuren
van Beuren (Dutch pronunciation: [vɑn ˈbøːrə(n)]) is a surname. The Dutch word "van" is equivalent to the English word "of" and the German word "von", hence it usually is not capitalized in names. The similar name, Buren, is a city or estate in the Netherlands which was ruled by the Egmond family. Dutch nobles were commonly named after their possessions. Literally translated, the Dutch word "Buren" means "neighbours". The surname, van Buren that sometimes is used by the Dutch royal house, is related.
