Note: The demonym Hagenaar indicates someone who lives in or comes from The Hague but who was born elsewhere (as opposed to Hagenees, a native of The Hague).
The family toponym, van Westerhout, now used as the family surname, suggests an origin in Westerholt, East Frisia (present-day Westerholt, Lower Saxony, Germany).
