Birth Certificate
It is in an old birth certificate, originally written in Indonesian (which was heavily affected by Dutch, I suggest).
Context:
" ... there was born;
[a personal name]
the son of a couple WATTIEZ Eduard and BOTTER Francine Corline "
I guess WATTIEZ and BOTTER are WIFE and HUSBAND (or husband and wife?).

: (and yes, of course -- Wattiez and Botter are obviously the names of the husband (male given name) and wife (female given name), respectively.)

writeaway
: @ Jack-In English we would say that Botter is her maiden name. that's what we say to mean a woman's name before she got married. we never use female given name.and it's the man's name and the woman's name, not male and female
