Kinkhoven

Dutch

Etymology

First attested as Kinckhoven in 1803-1820. Difficult to interpret due to a paucity of old attestations. Potentially a compound of Old Dutch Kindo (“a personal name”) suffixed with the collectivising suffix Old Dutch -ing- and the dative plural form of hof (“farmstead, homestead”).

See also Limburgish Kinkhaove.
