The Guardian researched his unusual sounding name and found that he was thus named because:
...way back in the 17th century, two farming families in the Enschede area of Holland intermarried.
Both the Vennegoor and Hesselink names carried equal social weight, and so - rather than choose
between them - they chose to use both. 'Of' in Dutch actually translates to 'or', which would mean
that a strict translation of his name would read Jan Vennegoor or Hesselink.
This could be considered as having the same effect as the double-barrelling of English surnames
