Oh pipe down.

I’m only guessing, based on a very sharp ear for sounds in general and including language. Not very educated, though. Just instinct.

“Gheluwe” does not look typical Dutch-like to me, which is a Germanic language and looks NOTHING like German (which I AM educated in reasonably). It’s too “soft” looking if you will.

But maybe I’m wrong.

Not that it’s really important, FGS. The guy is American, no doubt.

German ( which I am familiar with and speak a bit of )does sound a bit like Afrikaans and also somewhat like Flemish ( which I can say a simple sentence in ); however, German last names use a "VON", whilst Dutch ones use "VAN"!

And "Gheluwe" absolutely looks and sounds Dutch!

If the above name looks "soft sounding" to you, then just what does the absolutely DUTCH last name, Van Loon, look and sound like to you? What about Van Rensselaer...also a "purely" Dutch last name look/sound like to you?

Yes, you ARE wrong about this; however, word and name derivations are interesting topics.

And yes, this moron IS an American.
