editEtymology
editFirst found in a Latin-language document from the year 838, mentioning a ‘villa Duetinghem’, a settlement with a small church. The first element appears to be the name of a family (compare Proto-Germanic *-ingaz); the second appears to be related to Proto-Germanic *haimaz. In 887, there is another mention of ‘Deutinkem’, a fortress with a church which had been given to the then bishop of Utrecht. The spelling has varied over the centuries, with ‘Duttichem’, ‘Duichingen’ and ‘Deutekom’ being just some examples. See also Dutch Low Saxon Deutekem, Dörkum.
