Von der Osten & Vey (1969) suggested that his name was Jeroen van Aken and
that he was called Bosch after the town 's-Hertogenbosch to which his father had moved, although, unfortunately they do not quote their source.
Such abbeviations are common in Dutch even today, witness Den Haag for
's-Gravenhage.
