Karen & Gerald DeGroot
Karen and Gerald DeGroot were/are two doctoral candidates at the University of Michigan. Thanks to The Hanso Foundation they were able to start the DHARMA Initiative. We first learn about the DeGroots in the Swan Orientation Film in "Orientation". The whereabouts of this couple are unknown today but many theories have surfaced.
Facts
- De Groot or DeGroot is a very common Dutch surname. In the Netherlands, the name is commonly written with a space between 'De' and 'Groot' (when the full name is mentioned, as in 'Hugo de Groot', the article takes a lowercase letter); in Belgium they are written together and with two capitals. About one in a thousand Dutch people are named DeGroot.
- Meaning: 'the great' - loosely translated as 'the large' or 'the corpulent,' not as in 'the wonderful' or 'the stupendous.' Like many languages, a lot of Dutch surnames are literal, i.e. 'De Boer' - the farmer; 'Van Houten' - from (the) woods.
