Hintjens family
Like many Flemish names, the name Hintjens originates with a mispelling by a French official. Originally, some few hundred years ago, the family's name was Heineken. This was discovered through tracing birth and death records by the family historian, Jan Hintjens, born in 1928 and currently living in Antwerp. Among the best-known members of this small family are Isidoor Hintjens, an architect born in Ostende, and whose work and life are recorded in the official website of the town, and his nephew, Arno Hintjens, now a famous musician.
