Van Eyck or Van Eijk is a Dutch toponymic surname. Eijck, Eyck, Eyk and Eijk are all archaic spellings of modern Dutch eik ("oak") and the surname literally translates as "from/of oak". 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. Names with an affix (tussenvoegsel), like Van der Eijk, are more likely to refer directly to the tree. This article lists people with this surname.
