Nootbaar – name origin meaning

The origin and meaning of name, Nootbaar

The origin of the surname, Nootbaar is Dutch.

“Noot” means “note” in Dutch.

“Baar” is a morpheme and it means “able” in Dutch. For example, the Dutch word for “edible” is “eetbaar” and the Dutch word for “workable is “werkbaar”.

Therefore, Nootbaar means “Notable”.  Morpheme refers to a part of a word that has a meaning.

The Dutch word, Nootbaar, indeed, sounds like the English word “notable”.

While some argue that the origin of the name, Nootbaar is some other old language such as the one formerly spoken in Scandinavia, since both of the two segments of the word “nootbaar” have meanings respectively as a word or a morpheme in Dutch, perhaps it would be reasonable to think that the name “Nootbaar” has its etymology in Dutch and it means “notable”.
