"Janken" means crying in a loud way (howling). The word 'Jahnke' is also a last name, but I couldn't tell you what it means. To me it sounds more like a German last name than a Dutch last name, though.
The surname "Brake" likely originated as a topographic name referring to someone who lived near a cliff or a steep bank, as "Brake" is associated with hilly or rugged terrain in Dutch. It may also have derived from the Middle Dutch word "brake," which referred to a type of fern or shrubbery.
The last name Lykins is of English origin. It is believed to be derived from the Old English personal name "Lydhere," which combines the elements "lyd," meaning "loud" or "high," and "here," meaning "army."
"Van" in Dutch means "of" or "from," while "de" means "the" and "Ven" translates to "fen" or "marsh." Therefore, in Dutch, "VanDeVen" likely refers to someone living near or originating from a fen or marsh.
