nabijeveld

Nabijeveld is a Dutch toponym and surname. The name derives from the elements nabij, meaning “near,” and veld, meaning “field,” a combination common in Dutch place names that describe a location relative to a field or open ground.

Geographic usage: There is no widely recognized town or municipality named Nabijeveld in contemporary Dutch administration. When the term appears in historical documents or informal use, it often denotes a rural area, a farmstead, or a small locality near a field, rather than an official settlement.

Surname usage: Nabijeveld is also found as a family name. As a toponymic surname, it would have originated from a person or family living near a notable field or farm bearing a similar name. Such surnames are common in Dutch-speaking regions and may have several independent origins.

Variations and related forms: Spelling variants such as Nabijveld or Nabieveld may occur in archival records or regional usage, reflecting regional pronunciation and historical orthography.

Notes: Because Nabijeveld is not associated with a widely documented place, encyclopedic attention is limited. For precise references, consult regional cadastral records, parish registers, or genealogical databases.
