A current PGA golf player has the first name of Tjaart. Is there an equivalent in English or another language?

Thanks.

Hi FK,

Tjaart is a spelling variant of Tjaard, a Frisian short form of the German names Diethard (people + hard, strong) and Dietward (people + guard).

Thanks for the good intentions. I just put that name in a serch engine and was surprised at the number of people, mostly in the Netherlands, that have Tjaart as their first name.

It sounds Dutch or Scandinavian to me. Are you sure it couldn't be Tjeerd or Tjeert instead (both Dutch-Frisian names).

It's not Scandinavian.
