Alberdingk (also: Alberdingk Thijm) is the name of a Dutch patrician family. Patricianship, the quality of belonging to a patriciate, began in the ancient world, where cities such as Ancient Rome had a class of patrician families whose members were initially the only people allowed to exercise many political functions.
