Vandecar Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
The first known person to carry this name was Dirk Van Der Karre (Van Der Kerre) who was born in 1637 in Ulster, NY which was then part of New Netherlands. New Netherlands had been founded by the Dutch in 1624 and only existed until 1664 when the English wrested control of it and renamed it New York. The Dutch adopted surnames around this time in NY, so it is quite likely that the Van Der Karre name originated then.
The name means Van (from) Der (the) Karre, but it is not known what/where the Karre refers - it could be a town, river, or some other geographic name from the Netherlands in the 1600s.
