Until recently, some elderly women still wore local Scheveningen costume,<ref name="kledingdracht">{{cite web|url=http://www.vlaggetjesdag.com/historie/klederdracht/|title=Klederdracht|work=www.vlaggetjesdag.com | access-date=12 May 2018}}</ref> while the local [[Scheveningen dialect]] is hardly spoken by young people anymore.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2004/09/10/oe-t-oit-vrooger-eweest-et-7701353-a1295914|title=Oe 't ôit vrooger 'eweest 'êt |work=www.nrc.nl |author=P. van der Eijk|date=10 September 2004 | access-date=27 March 2018}}</ref> 

Because of the closedness of the original village community, many shared the same surnames. This led to the introduction of nicknames in order to distinguish families better. For example, certain members from the Pronk family were known as 'the horse man', 'Piet the mouse', 'Born without a tooth' or 'Gerrit de sermon'. Some common 'typical Scheveningen' family names are, for example, Bal, Dijkhuizen, Groen, Korving, Den Heijer, Knoester, De Niet, Plugge, Pronk, Rog, Spaans, Taal, Toet, Vrolijk, Zuurmond and Van der Zwan. Through the opening up of the fishing village from the beginning of the 20th century, this phenomenon has gradually become obsolete.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.allemaalscheveningers.nl/joomla/familienamen |title=Scheveningse familie namen |work=www.allemaalscheveningers.nl |access-date=12 May 2018 |archive-date=10 May 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160510074507/http://www.allemaalscheveningers.nl/joomla/familienamen |url-status=dead }} (Access date 26 September 2023)</ref>
