WYKE
Wyke (with different spelling) is used thoughout Holland and Denmark. Like our "Heckmondwike" it is often used as a place-name ending, e.g. "Rijswijk" in Holland. My understanding is that it means "town" or "village". So, Wyke, a suburb of Bradford, Yorkshire, was so unimportant that they didn't even bother to give it a name ... they just called it "village". Note that 19th century Ordinance Survey maps show it spelled "Wike". It would seem that in the case of Wyke, the suburb of Bradford, Yorkshire, the village of my birth, it was so unimportant a village that no one bothered to give it a name ... thus it's name, translated, is really just "Village"
