 Engineer Sebastiaan Marynissen (Whisthub BV) developed mapping software, with which name maps can be drawn with circle symbols of varying size and colour (following the format used in the Deutscher Familiennamenatlas), showing the frequency and distribution of the selected name types in the Dutch language area. Unless indicated otherwise, a representation showing relative frequencies, which allow the pronounced regional differences to become very well visible, is chosen for all maps. The lower limit for the data query is five name bearers per municipality.\\ Engineer Sebastiaan Marynissen (Whisthub BV) developed mapping software, with which name maps can be drawn with circle symbols of varying size and colour (following the format used in the Deutscher Familiennamenatlas), showing the frequency and distribution of the selected name types in the Dutch language area.
