However, in most cases, the family name refers to an origin in Maaseik. This city on the Meuse, now in Belgium on the border with the Netherlands, was originally simply known as Eike and from the 13th century as Old Eyck and New Eyck.

Considering the high frequency of the name and the small size of these two places, it has been speculated that people from many other places, such as the relatively larger Belgian cities of Leuven and Denderleeuw may have also ended up being called "van Leeuwen" as well. Although translated as "lions" in modern Dutch, the place name may be explained originating from Germanic hlaiw, meaning (burial) mound.
