** In a German name, "von" really is an aristocratic prefix; the similar sounding "van" in Dutch names, however, is common as dirt. (The Dutch-descended Music/LudwigVanBeethoven tried to pull a fast one on the Austrian nobles by way of this confusion.) However, what's being signaled with the Dutch names isn't that the ancestors were aristocrats in the Netherlands, but rather that the family has been in America--especially New York--for a very long time (probably since the 17th century). A prime example of this is the [[UsefulNotes/TheodoreRoosevelt Roosevelt]] [[UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt family]], whose name isn't particularly distinctive in the Netherlands (it means "rose field") but sounds upper-crust to Americans (and would even if the family hadn't produced two presidents).
