Question: Sirname Luikens!?
anyone out there Luikens!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Luikens is indeed a dutch name!. I have a Luikens line from Muskegon, Michigan that goes back to Klaas Luikens and Geelje Medendorp!. They were married in Kloosterburen, which is in the Groningen Province of the Netherlands on May 9, 1874!. Are there any Michigan connections with your Luikens family!?

Edit: Duimstra and Schutt are also Dutch names!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Dutch or Flemish (Belgian) I would guess!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The name is pretty rare, but there are a bunch here in Minnesota!. The first immigrants were from Holland where it appears they settled in Michigan (maybe to plant some of the beautiful tulips)!.
However, I could not find a meaning of the surname Luikens!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I wondered if you are interested in the meaning of the Luikens name !

Dutch Luikens, Luken, Lueken, or German Lückens, a patronymic from the personal name Lüdeke : from a pet form of the personal name Ludo, Lode, or a pet form of a Germanic name formed with the initial element liut or hlod (e!.g!. Ludolph)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
