Veentjer is a surname of Dutch origin. It is a relatively uncommon name, primarily found in the Netherlands. The name is likely topographic or habitational, potentially derived from a place name combining "veen" (peat bog, moor) and a suffix such as "-tje" (a diminutive) or "-ter" (denoting a place or inhabitant of a place). Thus, it could signify someone who lived near a small peat bog or who originated from a location named after a peat bog. Variations in spelling may exist, but Veentjer remains the most prevalent form. Genealogical records can provide more specific insights into the origins of particular Veentjer families.
