Famke Beumer Janssen was born c. 1964 in Amstelveen in the Netherlands.[3] Her first name, Famke, means "girl" in Frisian language, the native language of the Dutch province Friesland.[4] She was given both her mother and father's surnames: Beumer and Janssen. She retained the name Janssen.[5] She has two sisters, director Antoinette Beumer and actress Marjolein Beumer, both of whom changed their surnames to simply Beumer.[6] In addition to her native Dutch, Janssen speaks English and French.
