Annevelink

Annevelink is a Dutch surname, likely of toponymic origin. It is derived from the phrase aan 't veldink, meaning "next to the little field." The term veldink is a diminutive of veld ("field"), so the name effectively describes a residence or farmstead situated by a small field. This pattern of surnames based on geographic features or farm names is common in the Netherlands, where many surnames originated as descriptions of family homes or landscapes.

The surname is notably concentrated in the Netherlands, particularly in the eastern regions (Overijssel and Gelderland), though individual bearers have also migrated to other countries over time.
