While I'm on the subject, the Dutch (as in the nationality, not the language) are a bit unusual when it comes to surnames. It's common to capitalize every word in a name in many parts of the world, but the Dutch usually don't capitalize words like "ten" or "van" ("from", "of"), which can make for weirdly capitalized names like "Jan ten Oever". Were the same person to live in Belgium, the same Dutch name would become "Jan Ten Oever".
However, like many names which have a prefix, it is properly alphabetized under "H", not "t" or "'". This is an example of why linguistic tagging is often necessary, not just nice-to-have. A Dutch author "van Dijk" should be sorted under D, but an American (or, perhaps, Belgian) author "Van Dyke" should be sorted under V. The same is traditionally true of Scottish names starting with Mc/Mac, as I understand it. The rigid FIRSTNAME LASTNAME model of human names breaks down in very, very many places.
Maybe I'm wrong, but when translated it's more probable to be a surname than anything else.
Not being familiar with this surname, the first thing I noticed was that "ten" and "ever" are both English words. So I tried reading it as "ten oh ever" or "ten zero ever". I couldn't understand what that would mean, but it was the best interpretation I could think of.
In my experience, smart people are more likely to be idiosyncratic, so I wasn't inclined to dismiss the possibility.
I tried putting "tenOever" into Google, but the first two pages of results just take me back to him and his research. I tried Wikipedia too and search results there were also dominated by his work.
It wasn't until I came to the comments here that I was able to find the real answer.
