Dutch Names that Start With C

<p>Cees is a masculine Dutch name, pronounced 'case' or 'kays,' functioning as a short form of Cornelis, the Dutch variant of Cornelius. This name has Roman origins from the clan name Cornelius, possibly derived from the Latin word 'cornu' meaning 'horn.' Cees gained popularity in the Netherlands during the 20th century as Dutch naming trends shifted toward shorter, more familiar forms of traditional names. It represents a typically Dutch phonetic simplification that maintains the essence of the original formal name. While extremely common among older generations in the Netherlands, its usage has declined somewhat for newer generations. Outside the Netherlands, Cees remains quite rare, giving it a distinctive Dutch character. The name's brevity and strong consonant sound give it a modern feel despite its ancient origins.</p>
