See Vecht in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /vɛxt/ Audio: Nl-Vecht.ogg
Rhymes: -ɛxt Etymology: Inherited from Middle Dutch Vecht, from Old Dutch Fehta. Possibly related to Proto-Germanic *fagraz (“nice, beautiful”) or Proto-Indo-European *pek- (“to clean”). A relation to vechten (“to fight”) has been proposed but makes little sense semantically.
