What does van zante mean in dutch?
van Zanten is someones last name. It doesn't mean anything.A lot of Dutch people have last names starting with 'van'The word translates to 'from' in English. Most of the time the word 'van' is followed by the name of a town, village or city. For example Carice van Houten (this is a Dutch actress). Her name means 'Carice from Houten'. Her origins lie in a town called Houten. This doesn't necessarily mean she was born in this town.City's etc. aren't the only words used to form a last name with 'van'. There are also names referring to beaches or wildlife areas etc.There are even some names starting with 'van' that have no meaning at all. For example 'van Helsing' isn't a Dutch name, it just borrowed the 'van'.I'm afraid I can't tell you what Zante (or Zanten) means. I can't find a definition of the name, so this might be one of the names that doesn't mean anything. It's just a last name.
