The Van Dievoet family (/ˈdiːvʊt/) is a Belgian family originating from the Duchy of Brabant.[5] It descends from the Seven Lineages of Brussels[6] and its members have been bourgeois (freemen) of that city since the 1600s.[7] It formed, at the end of the 17th century, a now extinct Parisian branch which used the name Vandive.[8]
