The one I was wondering about was Zeemann. Perhaps the Dutch Nobel physicist
who came up with the Zeeman effect?

Zeeman, Pieter , 1865­1943, Dutch physicist. He was professor of physics at
the Univ. of Amsterdam from 1900 and director of the Physical Institute,
Amsterdam, from 1908. In 1896 he discovered the Zeeman effect. He shared the
1902 Nobel Prize in Physics with H. A. Lorentz. His works include Researches
in Magneto-Optics (1913).

Just names, it seems.
