Meaning of name Hoekstra is: Frisian surname meaning "from the corner" or "corner farm".

Ben Hoekstra says: The name Hoekstra is - I think - used for the first time in the Netherlands and well in the Province of Friesland in the north part. From 1810 to 1813 The Netherlands belonged to France and Napoleon wanted the male people call up for the military service. Most of the people in the north of the country didn't have a family name. So they had to choose one. My forefather's full name was Jelle Jolles where Jolle was the name of his father. His father's full name was Jolle Murks, his father's name was Murk. In 1811 my forefather choosed as familyname Hoekstra. He lived probably on the corner of the street or way (he lived in a very small village). The Dutch word for corner is hoek. I hope this comment will make clear the origin of the name Hoekstra.
