Well, this brings up an interesting question on the reordering of
letters in a word: Composita (concatenated words).

The name VanderWerf seems to be of dutch origin - 'van der Werf'. 

This only rarely occurs in English but is the way things are in
German - like in the word 'Blitzkrieg' (I did only choose it because
many speakers of English know it).

It is composed of 'Blitz' (in this case meaning: taking place very
rapidly) and 'Krieg' (war). To keep everything readable one should
keep 'B', 'z', 'k', and 'g' in position and not just 'B' and 'k'.
This cannot be done automatically - there is no rule for this :-<
