Name Meaning
West Frisian and Dutch: variant, mostly archaic or Americanized, of Dijkstra, composed of Dutch dijk ‘dike’ + the suffix -stra from Old Frisian sittera ‘inhabitant of’, hence a topographic name for someone who lived by a dike, and a habitational name for someone from a place called after its dike, such as Surhuizumerdijk and Haskerdijken. The surname Dykstra is also found in Germany, including East Frisia.
