Proper name

IPA: /ˈlif.tɪŋk/
Etymology: From either one of three farms attested in the Middle Ages as Middle Dutch Lieftinc, with all three being found in the Achterhoek. The farms' names seem to stem from a personal name related to Modern Dutch lief (“dear”) + -ink, an eastern variant of -ing, a now defunct patronymic suffix meaning 'belonging to'. Compare western Dutch Liefting. Etymology templates: {{der|nl|dum|Lieftinc}} Middle Dutch Lieftinc, {{m+|nl|lief||dear}} Dutch lief (“dear”) Head templates: {{head|nl|proper noun}} Lieftink
