Yes, Zonneveld means something like "sunny field". That is the Dutch version (my father was from the Netherlands); the German version would be Sonnefeld or Sonnenfeld (I saw that the director of the movie MIB has this name).
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
