The source for these names is De rekeningen van de grafelijkheid van Holland uit de Beirse periode, deel: 1358-61, a collection of Dutch trade documents with listings from 1358 to 1361. I have collated the given names found in these documents, and organized them here alphabetically. Feminine names are listed first, then masculine names. The header form is the most common spelling, the indented forms are other spellings as well as diminutive forms (recognizable by the suffixes -gen, -ken, and -kin). Bynames are listed on a separate page.
Holland at this point in time was not a unified country; it was made up of small provinces, often feuding with each other and vying for power. Because relations between different provinces may or may not have been amicable at any given point, there was a rather significant regionalization of names. The names in this document were found in records from the provinces of Zeeland, Zuidholland, and Noordholland; these are all along the northern edge of the country along the coastline.
Because of the nature of the source documents, an acccurate statistical analyses of the names presented here is impossible. However, it is possible to give a rough generalization of which names are more common and which are not. Header spellings listed in red are more common than others. Of the masculine names, Jan and its variants are far and away the most common name; there were roughly 224 people named Jan in these documents. Of the next most common masculine name, Willem, only 69 instances are found.
