Surname: Van Sant

Hi- I found my way here through a Lord of the Rings list that I'm on. I'd love to know what my last name means- I was surprised it wasn't on the list here, but I guess it's not as common as I thought. Anyway, it's Dutch, and the name is Van Sant. I'm sure it's been spelled plenty of other ways- Van Zant, Van Zandt, Van Sandt, Vansant, Vanzant, etc. Any info anyone might have would be very much appreciated! Thanks.

Not knowing any Dutch, I would still guess:

Dweller on (or near) sandy land.

Menke definitely knows more here.

Makes sense to me, but I don't know any Dutch, either. :) How can I get in touch with Menke?

I see my help is not needed anymore since Andy found the answer, but if you want to have the information translated into Korean, i could do that for you..........no, that's a joke, but lol @ Andy's 11 week Korean course.
