The word "Vandeusen" is an Anglicized version of the Dutch surname "Van Deusen". The correct pronunciation of this name is /vændjuːsən/, with emphasis on the second syllable. The "Van" part of the name means "of" or "from", while "Deusen" comes from the Dutch words "de" (the) and "uusen" (houses). Therefore, "Vandeusen" means "from the houses", indicating that the original bearer of the name was likely a landowner or a person of means who owned multiple houses.
