Best Answer

It's a name from the north of the Netherlands (from the region Friesland). '-ma' means 'son of'. 'Sikke' comes from the first name 'Sicke' or 'Sicco' (it does not mean 'the sick one'!). 'Sicke' comes from 'Sigi' as in 'Sifridus'. 'Sig-' means 'Winner' ('sieger' in German).

So 'Sikkema' means: the son/daughter of a winner.
