Originally, the name was “Van der Valk”, which translates to “a soldier who worked a falcon”. The term “falcon” (valk in Dutch) refers to a 16th-century cannon. These early artillery pieces were often named after birds of prey.
Over time, the name evolved to “Van Der Walt”, retaining its connection to military associations.
The stamvader (progenitor) of the Van Der Walt families in South Africa was Gaele Andries. He was born in the town of Veenwouden, Friesland.
In 1727, Gaele Andries arrived at the Cape as a sailor in the service of the V.O.C. (Dutch East India Company).
He married Johanna Weijers, the eighteen-year-old daughter of Heinrich Weijers from Eppe, Germany, and Anna Elizabeth Gerrits in 1742.
Thus, Gaele Andries became the founder of the Van Der Walt lineage in South Africa.
