Origin and Etymology of the Surname
ACHTHOVEN, ACHTIENHOVEN.
|
|
From Surnames, by Bernard Homer Dixon, 1857.
|
|
ACHTHOVEN, (Dutch
and Flemish), Eight farms. ACHTIENHOVEN, Eighteen
farms. I presume that the "hoven" in these
surnames is a corruption of "hoeven," farms. If not,
however, they are Eight courts and Eighteen courts.
