Zender is of Dutch origin, derived from the word "zinder," which means "fiery" or "ardent." It was traditionally given to the youngest son born on Christmas day. The name has gained international recognition due to its association with Dutch painter Piet Mondrian, whose birth name was Pieter Cornelius. He was famously known by his art-world pseudonym, Piet Mondrian, but his original birth name was Piet Zender. This connection has contributed to the popularity of the name Zender in recent times.
