Kreuzwendedich
Kreuzwendedich is a male given name, which was given mainly to children whose older siblings had previously died. It is not very common and is rather uncommon today.
In Holland, the first name Kreuzwendedich has become part of the family name of the Borne families, while Kreuzwendedich was transformed into Kreutzwendedich (with an additional t).
