| − | * 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. |

He was also a philosopher, Christian apologist, playwright, and poet. His writings on natural law widely influenced Locke, Hobbes, and many more. |
