English-German translation?

David Hasselhoff--very big in Germany.



The question: what would be the German article for "the Hoff"



Der?

Die?

Das?



I was thinking "der Hoff" but I'm just not sure! Also, if you can link to your answer that would be great.English-German translation?
Often a name is adapted to new spelling habits.

Therefore Hasselhoff.

That is NOT German.

In German it would be Hasselhof.



It is not important if he is male, it only matters that it is "der Hof", meaning the court, the yard, the garden (the farm).

So Hasselhoff means the garden of Hassel (a name)

Well, I'd use der because he's male... even though hope is a feminine noun, this is a nickname so it doesn't work that way.
First of all it is spelled "Hof". It is "der Hof." His name was probably altered a little. The web link below is where you can go to verify my information. Good luck!!

I believe Der means The

I believe Das means That

I don't know what Die means
It's "Der".

Der means the if it's a he.

Die means the if it's a she.

Das means the if it's an it.

David is a he so it is "der Hoff".

I'm sure, I'm from Germany (though I'm not a fan of him at all).
