The Tjin-A-Djie family (pronounced: Chin-Aaa-Jee; popularity: rare/unique) is a prominent gentry family from the country of Suriname with origins from China, France and Vietnam. They are one of the earliest Chinese families arriving in Suriname in the 1800s. The family is known for their significant, national successes ranging from trade to sports, which thrived throughout the latter part of Suriname's history to the present day. Their success in Suriname began in the late Victorian era with the development into the agriculture sector with plantations. From this, the family expanded into other segments of industry and committees. Throughout history, members of the Tjin-A-Djie family have committed to developing various sectors of society involving baked goods and groceries, the Chinese association, import and export development, educational facilities, religious enterprises, politics, sports, and business.[1] Today, the Tjin-A-Djie family continues to be a part of the Suriname Tennis Association, sponsoring the annual Opa Leo Tjin-A-Djie Tennis Tournament.[2]
Branches of the family today can be found predominantly in Suriname, with members residing in North America and Europe, such as in the Netherlands. Certain 21st century descendants can claim notoriety in their numerous ethnically diverse make-ups; some as high as twelve different ethnicities including: Chinese, French, Vietnamese, Malaysian, Portuguese, Scottish, Dutch, German, Canadian, Surinamese, Native South American, and African.
Their ancestor's full name was Tjin-A-Djie, but according to the habits of the Chinese people, the root and base surname is Tjin. This is what makes this surname so unique to this family.
History
Joseph Tjin-A-Djie (1835-1903)
Upon a family reunification program,[3] Joseph Tjin-A-Djie (born 1835-1903) moved from Kwangtung (Guangong) China to Suriname on the ship the Whirlwind where he arrived in Suriname in 1866.[1] After settling in, he began the development of a plantation that grew rice and various vegetables. On March 15, 1876 Joseph obtained a license to begin opening grocery stores on a plantation in Mon Trésor.[1]
He married a Chinese woman[3] and he fathered two boys named Eduard (Kon-Fat) (1871-1930), and Rudolf (A-Djie) (1880-1962) who flourished as two of the most prominent gentlemen of Suriname. Through his sons, Joseph has been able to further establish a national business family throughout the country. Joseph died in 1903.[1]

A man of gentle birth, Tjin-Kon-Fat (pronounced: Chin-Kon-Fat) was a business man, trader, and tycoon growing his extensive wealth through various proprietorships, retail, and trade systems. He predominantly was a plantation owner taking charge of at least three plantations in Oldenburg, Nieuw Meerzorg, and Monsort. His plantations grew assortments of rice, vegetables, coffee and coco.[1] In the town of Oldenburg, his own rice/peeling factories/mills processed the raw materials into retail goods in which he sold in the supermarkets that he owned throughout the towns of Oldenburg, Nieuw Meerzorg, Waterkant, Poeloepantje, and Paramaribo.[1] In his stores, he sold an assortment of hard and soft good items such as furniture and appliances, clothing, thread, needles, fabric, perfume, powder, cosmetics, cognac and wine, food and groceries, stationary, and cigars, etc.[1] He furthermore had a "Lucifer Match" Factory [Dutch: luciferfabriek] named “Vulcan” and a coffee restaurant named “Halikibe” (Vreugde), a rental property [Dutch: leenhuis], and a hardware store. Along with his store enterprise, in Waterkant Tjin-Kon-Fat had an import and export company importing products from Hong Kong, the United States, the Netherlands, England, France, and China.[1] As well as an automobile renting establishment and a money loan company.[1]
In addition to his business activities, Tjin-Kon-Fat played an active role helping to develop communities. He was a board member for education and a board member for Suriname’s sports. Also he was a board member for radio stations,[1] president of the Chinese association Moe Poen Sah, executive board member of the Green Cross, and was an alternate member of the Board of Appeal for the [Dutch: Huurwaardebelasting] (translates to rental value tax).[4]

The descendants of Eduard have surname Tjin-Kon-Fat.
Rudolf J. Tjin-A-Djie (1880-1962)
A prosperous merchant and industrialist, born in the town of Albina, Rudolf the well born son of Joseph "married a young woman from what was formerly known as Indo-China.[3]" They produced one child named Rudolf Marius (February 19, 1899 – 1987) who became a teacher, however his mother, and wife of Rudolf, died after giving birth.
In Suriname, during this time in history, being a teacher was an exceptional and distinguished profession due to the extensive schooling needed in the overseas Netherlands.
Rudolf J. Tjin-A-Djie was a joint proprietor at the gold mines near the frontier between Suriname and French Guyana and often went to French Guyana for shopping purposes where he met his future [second] wife.[3] A French lady, her name was Elisabeth Marie (nicknamed: Majotte) (née: Tong Lee A Tai). She was of Vietnamese descent born in Paris, France in 1883. Born and bred into French society, Elisabeth Marie came from a wealthy Vietnamese family who had established themselves within the French culture.[3] After ending up in French Guiana and meeting Rudolf J. Tjin-A-Djie, they decided to marry[3] on September 15, 1904. Upon her marriage in Suriname, Elisabeth Marie "[she] took not only her élan, her savoir vivre, her French hats and porcelain, but also the French language and introduced all of that into the extended Chinese family system.[3]" Elisabeth had a fascination for fashion, craftsmanship, and artistry. As a result of this, she heavily influenced the creations of the Tjin-A-Djie crest and constructed it into the family's tableware, including the plates, pure silver cutlery, and the pure crystal glassware. Since Elisabeth was influenced by the French culture having being born in Paris, after marriage and moving to Suriname with Rudolf, she also established a millinery shop, creating and selling beautiful hats in Surname.
Although Rudolf spoke Dutch and Elisabeth spoke French, they communicated Sranan Tongo to each other, the Surinamese language.[3] In his family life, Rudolf was a stern but kind man, often taking his grand kids riding on his horses when they were little. For example Reginald and his younger twin brother Randolf would take turns sitting in front of him on the horse, enjoying a ride on a warm summer's day. Typically, Reginald would always ride first then Randolf.
Apart from being a proprietor at the gold mines, Rudolf also owned at least one grocery store and as of 1938 was the owner of the Hollandia bakery[5] (At the time one of the largest bakeries in the country). The bakery has been passed down through his son Leonard Ernest Theodoor’s descendants.

Tjin-A-Djie and tennis
The Tjin-A-Djie family has made notable contributions to the sports industry of Suriname, specifically with tennis. Apart from business and societal affairs, the family members engaged themselves within the sports culture and from this, three national champions were born. Herman Rudolf Johan and his brother Leonard Ernest Theodoor were national tennis champions between the years 1941-1957, with Herman’s [second] son becoming national champion in 1960.[12]

In 1931, the Suriname Tennis Committee started its first official championships.

10 Year Reign at an End
