Evidence is missing and it would be more obvious that the Low German names come from an Old Low German and not from an Old High German word and the Frisian name from an Old Low German or Old Frisian and not from an Old High German (see https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction : Proto-Germanic / Þeudarīks and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/þeudō , which like wikipedia is not a reliable source)

The following regional variants are also described as a family name:

  • Dedecke (n), Low German surname, which is formed from the Old High German diot (people) and the Low German diminutive - (c) ke (n).
  • Deecke (n), Low German family name, which is formed from the Old High German diot (people) and the Low German diminutive suffix - (c) ke (n). The second d (cover) was lost due to dental shrinkage.
  • Deetje (n), Frisian surname, which is formed from the Old High German diot (people) and the Frisian diminutive suffix - (t) je (n). The second d was lost due to dental shrinkage.
  • De Dietrich , Alsatian industrial dynasty
