The first-known printed use of the name was in the 1660 West Prussian Confession, where the expression &amp;quot;Die vereinigte Flämische, Friesische und Hochdeutsche Tauffs-gesinnete oder Mennonisten in Preussen&amp;quot; is used. The first German edition of the [[Dordrecht Confession of Faith (Mennonite, 1632)|Dordrecht Confession]] (1664), however, used only the name &amp;quot;Mennonisten,&amp;quot; as did the 1678 Prussian confession. The standard general Mennonite history by [[Brons, Anna (1810-1902)|Anna Brons]] carried the title &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Ursprung, Enttwickelung und Schicksale der Taufgesinnten oder Mennoniten&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; in all three editions (1884, 1891, and 1912). The official periodicals did not use Taufgesinnt on their mastheads.&lt;br /&gt;
