Help! does someone know what my Dutch surname means " Van Stekelenburgh" Thankyou?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It is a very common name in the Netherlands
Van Stekelenburg or Van Stekelenburgh

It simply means that your ancestors were / came from Stekelenburgh.
Probably an area with a lot of brambles or so.

stekelen is plural of stekel = little thorn, prickle (stick)
burg (old-fashioned:burgh) = castle, ??borough??
burger = citizen, ??burgher??
