Talk:Von Donop

Latest comment: 5 years ago by Moonraker

JalenFolf, the true surname is not "Von Donop" it is Donop. The "von", which does not have a capital letter, is a nobiliary particle. The misconception is usually an American one. Confusingly, since Germany abolished titles of nobility, the particle is treated as part of the surname, but the name is still indexed under D, such as "Donop, Carl von."
