Van Adrichem

Van Adrichem is a Dutch toponymic surname, derived from the name of an estate and castle (demolished in 1812) formerly in North Holland, the Netherlands. It is a variant of Adrichem, meaning "Adrik's home."

The prefix van ("of" or "from") indicates a geographic origin, a common feature in Dutch surnames. The name Adrichem itself comes from the Old Dutch personal name Adrik (a short form of names beginning with adal meaning "noble") combined with hem, meaning "home" or "settlement."
