ArchivesDutch names
I've got a few Dutch family names (from way back when) that I'd like help...translating? I don't know what names they are (are they nicknames or full names, and if they're nicknames, what are they nicknames for-that sort of thing) or how they're pronounced, so any help is really appreciated.
Catalyntje -Is this just a nickname for Catarina?
Breckje
Engeltje
Annetje -A nickname for Anne?
Ariantje
Wyntje
Ariense (I'm not sure if this is Dutch or not, but the woman was apparently from Gelderland)
Also, how would you pronounce Catherina in Dutch?
Thank you so much!

Annetje - Young Anne or Child Anne.
Ariantje - Young Aboriginal Vegetarian or Vegetarian Child
Depending on which Indo-Germanic language you use.
Veget is Dutch and Arian is Deutsch. Yet Vegetarian is Holländisch-Deutsch spoken by Indigenous Blacks known as Moriaan Indiaans "Afrikaan-Amerikanisch people" like Moriaantje "Young Black Indiens".

I don't know if your questions were already answered, but I found a website that had most of the names on it.

Catalyntje - from Catharina, the -tje suffix means 'little'
Breckje - You mean Brechje perhaps? Besides 'little' -je is also used to make a name feminine, so it's a feminine form of Brecht
Engeltje - literally means 'little angel' (engel = angel and -tje = little)
Annetje -A nickname for Anne? -tje means little, so it's 'little Anne'
Ariantje - feminine form or nickname of Arian (stems from Adrian)
Wyntje - not sure. possibly realted to 'Wine' (WEE-nu) meaning 'friend'
Ariense - Arien as a name is related to Adrian, but I'm not familiar with this name with -se behind it.
Also, how would you pronounce Catherina in Dutch? - kah:-tu-RHEE-nah:
