[Facts] Re: Anyone know where the last names that end with "dt" like "wannstedt" come from??

I agree with Meriel. Most names that end in "-dt" are gonna be German. The example you use certainly would be (I lived there two years and feel pretty comfortable on this one).

I also think Last names ending with "dt" are German by origin. Although I can't say it with 100% certainty. Its definitely more German than Dutch or Belgian.
