Koerens

Koerens is a surname of Dutch origin. It is believed to be a patronymic surname, possibly derived from a diminutive form of the given name "Coenraad" or a related Germanic name. The name itself suggests a connection to a person who was the son or descendant of someone named Coenraad or a similar variation. Such surnames often emerged during the Middle Ages as populations grew and a need arose for more specific identification beyond a given name.

The surname Koerens is most commonly found in the Netherlands, particularly in regions with historical Dutch settlement. Like many surnames, its prevalence can vary geographically within the country. Over centuries, individuals bearing the Koerens surname have dispersed, and it can now be found in other countries through migration, though its concentration remains highest in the Netherlands. The exact historical lineage and origin of the Koerens family name are subject to genealogical research, as early records can be sparse. However, its linguistic roots firmly place it within the Dutch naming traditions.
