Family Name History Sommeling

The Dutch Family Name Sommeling is Classified as being of personal name origin.
As in the case of many family names, this surname derives its origins from the given name of one of the parents of its initial bearer.
Where the name is derived from the father’s first name it is referred to as being patronymic in origin and when it is taken from the personal name of the mother it is matronymic in origin.
With regard to Sommeling, the appellation developed from “Sommel”, a pet form of the ald gamanic personal name “Sombach”. Whith was in turn derived from the gothic word “sunja”, denoting truth, or from the old high German “sonna”, signifying the sun.
The “-ing”element in the Family Name Sommeling is an ancient Germanic possessive suffix which in surname usually indicates a Fillial relationship.
Thus the orginal dearer of the surname Sommeling would have been the “sun of Sommel”, Variants of the surname Sommeling include Sommel and Sommels.
One of theearliest references to this name is a record of one Piere Sommeling, son of Clement Sommeling and Jenne Pirot, who was born on 1630 in Tourcongie.
Piere Sommeling married with Susanne Plantfefe in Leiden on 21 oktober 1650
However, research is of course nogoing and this name may have been documented even earlier than the date indicated ahove.
Early records for both Belgium and Holland show categorically that the use of hereditary fixed family names was well-established withen the metropolitan areas of both countries by the thirteenth century.
It is only became estsblieshed as recently as the nineteenth century.

 

 

Tourcoing is a town in the North of France, at the North-East of Lille (Rijsel). In the neighbourhood are towns like Roubaix, Bondues and Mouvaux, which you can find multiple in the Leidse archives.

Tourcoing, which is mostly spelled like Toerkonje, is a part of an area which is since 1713 belonging to France. Here was a big textile industry, mostly directed on the wool comb, which probably is the cause of the migration to Leiden.

It’s familiar that between 1580 and 1622 no less than 150,000 persons are migrated to the North. A part of it were people which are protestant who feel themselves saver in the north, another part came to the north because of social-economic reasons. From Lille and neighbourhood came 4000 persons; from Tourcoing 800. Mostly Leiden was very migrating. This town had tried to bring the people who worked in the textile industry, came to the town.
