Behati Prinsloo

[papa_levante]

i think its an afrikaan name?

Can we assume so? I checked and the only results I got were from the Czech language.

well if i'm remembering correctly, at the beginning of her thread an african said prinsloo (prinzulu) was definitely afrikaan/namibian? so i just extended that to her first name

My thoughts exact! Behati looks amazing in the catalogue!

She is perfect for VS.

 

[katherine]

I have the catalog. I guess I won't be scanning it

I think you should still do it!

the name "Behati" is an afrikaan name. Prinsloo is Dutch or one of those scandinavian countries.

 

[kezme44]

the name "Behati" is an afrikaan name. Prinsloo is Dutch or one of those scandinavian countries.

correction: Bahati is Swahili [afrikaan]

 

[Mary-Anne]

I don't know why I'm under the impression she is dutch too... or has some dutch background...

I'm not crazy about the VS but she looks adorable,
Behati can't be anything but likeable, no matter what she is doing

 

[Paws]

^There are a lot of people with Dutch backgrounds in Africa.

prinsloo is a classic afrikaans name. there are many "prinsloo's" in South Africa so her last name is not unique at all. as far as Behati, my guess is that its an African/Namibian name. And Afrikaans is very similar to Dutch, it is actually kinda Dutch really, with slightly different words and over-all grammer mixed with local african vocabulary. a native dutch person could understand Afrikaans and vise versa. so while Behati is technically an Afrikaaner, she is ethnically Dutch, probs. from south holland where lots of farmers left to go to South Africa. AHH, sorry for the long explination...I just heart behati soo much!!

 

[papa_levante]

^ Great explanation! I am impressed by how much you know.

Either way, Behati is such a cute name. And the last name too... such an abundant use of vowels!

 

[ponytrot]

it suits her very well!

 

[kfan]

^^^ yeah , no problem guys!! I'm a sucker for that kind of random history stuff... And I agree, whatever her first name means, it really does suit her so well!!

hey, does anybody have any news on when her music video is coming out? I'm dying to see it!!

Ooh, she looks lovely in those photos! There's a side of Behati we don't see often!... updo sporting, suit wearing lady... It's nice to see how beautiful she looks and how well she pulls this look off!

Though I can't say I understand why she is cupping her own breast in the last one... It's all good I suppose!




Thanks!
