Anneke de Rooij, my last name is de Rooy which was originally de Rooij but changed when my grandparents moved to Australia. I have always heard that its meaning was something to do with ‘the royal’ or ‘the king’. But i have been looking into it and cant find a definite meaning.

Might anyone have any insights into the meaning of the name Nyhof? I think its an Americanized version of Nijhof. “Hof” appears to mean “court,” but I can’t find a translation for “nij.”
