'''Van Buren''' ({{IPA|nl|vɑm ˈbyːrə(n)|pron}}) is a [[Dutch surname]] meaning "[[Van (Dutch)|of/from]] [[Buren]]". {{lang|nl|Buren}} is also the Dutch word for "neighbours".
The [[Dutch language|Dutch]] word "van" is equivalent to the English word "of" and the German word "von". Hence it is not usually capitalized in names. [[Buren]] is a city/estate in the Netherlands which was ruled by the [[Egmond family]]. Dutch nobles were commonly named after their possessions. Literally translated, the Dutch word "Buren" means "neighbours".
