Walloon name

Since Belgium has three national languages — Dutch, French and German — Belgian names are similar to those in the neighbouring countries: the Netherlands, France and Germany. Place names (regions, towns, villages, hamlets) with a particle meaning "from" (de in French, del in Walloon, or van in Dutch) are the most numerous. An uncapitalised particle sometimes indicates nobility. Here is for example the chronological list of Ministers-President of the Walloon Region : For French family names among the Walloons and other francophones of Belgium, see French name.
