The Bergen name could be spelled ,Bargen,Baergen,Bergin,Berrgen,Berigen,Boyen,plus van or von in front of the name.My low -saxen ancestors used many variations,sometimes two or three in the same family.They pronounced it van Boyen.Those that left Europe dropped the van or von in early 1800,s Cornelius Bergen
