Buitekant Surname User-submission:

Buitekant is Afrikaans for 'outside'. According to the research known by my friend, Barry Buitekant, metaphorically 'outsider'. Afrikaans is based on a southern Dutch dialect, so I assume Southern Holland is where the surname was coined, as according to this website there is no record of any Buitekants living in South Africa.

Buitekant Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

Buitekant is Afrikaans for 'outside'. According to the research known by my friend, Barry Buitekant, metaphorically 'outsider'. Afrikaans is based on a southern Dutch dialect, so I assume Southern Holland is where the surname was coined, as according to this website there is no record of any Buitekants living in South Africa. As at least a high number of people bearing this surname are Jews, who originally probably travelled to Holland from abroad, the meaning of this surname would not be surprising.
