I'm pretty sure this name is French. You see, in most French last names that have an English verison of it have an "iet" or "ier" at the end, with the last letter silent (like Cartier would be pronounced Cart-ee-ae).

This surname appears mostly in South Africa:
It looks a bit as a "french protestant" surname, a "huguenot name" like Malan or others.
but I am not sure!
