The name "De Klerk" is of Dutch, not Huguenot origin
As indicated in the article, F.W. de Klerk is of Dutch origin. Klerk is a Dutch word, derived from Latin "clericus", and was generally used for administrative professions (see: [[1]]). Many people in the Netherlands are called "de Klerk". There is no reason it would be derived from Le Clerc or other French words, as De Klerk has Dutch roots and Afrikaans is a language derived from Dutch. This should be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fabzwiki (talk • contribs) 10:04, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
shouldn't it be De Klerk instead of de Klerk?
Both in Dutch and Afrikaans surnames affixes are written with capitals when a given name is missing. So it's Vincent van Gogh, but Dutch painter Van Gogh. Or Edwin van der Sar and ex-Ajax goalie Van der Sar. Hope this makes sense.
Not sure if this rule is also applicable in English. 85.148.152.54 (talk) 19:16, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
