In the dialect of the area Bergh, the name Thuis / Thus pronounced like "Thüs". In diverend sources there was the idea of the beginning from the family by one illegitimate child from the count of the castle Bergh. The name is found first in the 15th century. Then the family spread across the region. In old christining- and citizenbooks from the city of Emmerik (Germany) you will find the names.
