THE ADOPTION OF NAMES COULD INCLUDE A PLACE OF ORIGIN WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT LEGAL PRECEDENT FOR AUSTRALIA'S MULTI CULTURAL SOCIETY
Surnames became mandatory in The Netherlands in 1811, when Napoleon
Bonaparte required them. That meant everyone in the country had to choose a permanent surname for their family. It could be anything they desired, and quite a large number of families chose the patronymic surname their male
head of household was already using.
While Napoleon’s edict was certainly meant to simplify and standardize the naming practices in Europe, it got off to a rocky start. Because each
person was at liberty to choose his own surname, even within a single
family, each brother might have taken a different surname. Ultimately, a surname could be taken from anywhere. Typical sources included unique and sometimes unflattering nicknames, a person’s patronymic, their father’s patronymic, a place of origin, an occupation, or a position within the community or within their own family.

"We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

And even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large
part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps
forth to the rescue and the liberation of the Old."
