Van Zuylen van Nijevelt

Van Zuylen van Nijevelt (Dutch pronunciation: [vɑn ˈzœylə(ɱ) vɑ ˈnɛi(ə)vɛlt]) is a noble family from the region of Rotterdam, town and region where several members of the family played a significant role.

Their genealogy starts with a merchant in hosiery trade Van Zuylen.

Later they added 'Van Nijevelt' at the time when they had become affluent and accomplished important duties in Rotterdam.

Under the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, several royal decrees, between 1815–1822, confirmed the noble status of the family.

The family has canting arms: zuil is the Dutch word for column.
