Peukes

Hallo,

ich bin grade bein Surfen auf die Anfrage gestoßen - es ist zwar schon etwas lange her, aber vielleicht hilft ja der Tipp. Ich habe vor meiner Heirat auch den Namen Peukes getragen - mein Großvater war Heinrich Gustav Peukes (geb. in Krefeld und in Dortmund gestorben). Von ihm habe ich erfahren dass die Schreibweise früher auch erfolgt ist mit Paeukes, aber mehr müssten die Düsseldorfer wissen.

mit freundlichen Grüßen
Gremlin

Der FN Peukes kann wg. der Endung -s eine patronym. Form (Vatersname) zu Peuk(e) sein.
Eine Ableitung von Pauke als Berufs-Übername für einen Musiker wäre evtl. möglich.
Naheliegender scheint mir die Herleitung von BAUGA, ahd. pouc = Ring zu sein.
Siehe dazu Auszug aus HEINTZE, Die dt. FN (1908)

Es gibt auch den friesischen Personennamen Beuke. Beukes wäre der Sohn des Beuke. Möglicherweise eine Verschleifung ins Niederdeutsche/Westfälische.
Beuke als Verb bedeutet auch klopfen, schlagen (im Niederdeutschen dann peuken), wovon auch der Name Pauke abgeleitet wurde.
Viele Grüße

I would be very interested in finding out what my last name stands for. It is Beucke.

Hello Garry,

is as written above - the same meaning.

[GarryBeucke]

Laurin,

So you are saying that the name Beucke is a patronym and it means the son on Beuke? I think you also said that it can mean to knock or beat.

This may explain why some members of my family still spell the name as Beuke without the C.

Regards,

Garry

Hi Garry
actually in the German language we cannot find any word to explain the meaning of Beucke / Beuke / Peucke .
The above explanations are assumptions.
You have to look to a publication of an academic historian, who has studied the etymology of these family names.
Best regards

Hi Garry,

sorry, so it wasn't meant by me.
German patronyms have a suffix, for example -s or -n --> Beuckes or Beucken.

I think you also said that it can mean to knock or beat.

This is one of several options on the meaning of the name Beucke.

This may explain why some members of my family still spell the name as Beuke without the C.

This is just a variation; in earlier times often was used the letters ck instead of the letter k

In the book of the german etymologist Max Gottschald, "Deutsche Namenkunde / German Onomastics" (6th edition 2006) is explained below:
Buche / beech tree); ahd.: / in Old High German buohha; thereto the Low German names: Bauk, Bäuke (is the same as Beuke, Beucke).

... In the book of the german etymologist Max Gottschald: Deutsche Namenkunde / German Onomastics" (6th edition 2006) is explained:
the Low German names Bauk, Bäuke come from the German word Buche, in English: beech (the tree) ..

According to this explanation I found out, that the Low German (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_German) word for the beech tree is "Böke".
That sounds like Beucke !!

Thus You can be happy to bear such a wonderful name.
