IJsbrand is a Dutch male given name of late Old Dutch or early Middle Dutch origins. The first syllable, "eis" (or ijs/ys), is derived from the ancient west Germanic word for ''iron''. The second syllable, "brand" (or brandt), traditionally meant ''fire'' but was also used for things made in fire, such as a ''sword''. The NRC birth registry thus suggests the meaning "iron sword".〔(Birth register ) (Dutch)〕 The name is at least as old as the 12th century, when it was a distinguished name for the Lords of Haarlem. After it had caught on as a common given name, ''IJsbrand'' remained popular throughout Dutch history and up to the present day. According to the figures of the Sociale Verzekeringsbank, the organization that implements national insurance schemes in the Netherlands, the year 2009 saw the name IJsbrand given to 4 newborn boys in The Netherlands, in the same year the alternative spelling Ysbrand had a count of 5. ==Notable IJsbrands== * IJsbrand Goske (1626-1689), Governor of the Cape Colony (South Africa) from 1672. * IJsbrand van Hamelsveld, Dutch head of state in 1796 under the Batavian Republic. * IJsbrand Chardon (1961-), Dutch Equestrian (horseman) champion. * Isbrand van Diemerbroeck (1609–1674), Dutch physician, anatomist, and Professor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IJsbrand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
