Menno Simons, a Catholic priest living in what is now know as Holland, rejected the Catholic Church and the priesthood on January 12th, 1536, casting his lot with the Anabaptists (those who practiced believer baptism or those who were baptised as infants and were baptised again upon conversion to the Christian faith).
Menno evidently rose quickly to become a man of influence. Before 1540, David Joris, an Anabaptist of the "inspirationist" variety, had been the most influential leader in the Netherlands. By 1544, the term Mennonite or Mennist was used in a letter to refer to the Dutch Anabaptists.

No. People with the last name that begin with "Ade" just call themselves royalty.
