Etymology

Danish Debes

Proper noun

Debes m sg or f sg (variously declined, genitive Debes or Debesis); indeclinable, third declension

1. a surname from Danish
   1. Lucas Jacobi f. Debes (1623–1675), Danish priest, topographer, and writer
      • For quotations using this term, see Citations:Debes.

Usage notes

• The surname Debes only inflects to indicate grammatical case when it occurs alone. When it occurs with a declinable given name, only the given name inflects, with Debes indeclinable. For example, alone Debes has the genitive Debesis, but the phrase Lūcās Debes has the genitive Lūcae Debes, not *Lūcae Debesis.
