Meaning of this name is unknown.

Beekhuis says: This name is origianally from the northern parts of the Netherlands and N.W. Germany
Halvard Jan Hettema says: The origin of the name Hettema is quite simple. It is a Frisian name which - as most Frisian names do- refers to the name of the ancestor: It's meaning is: 'son of Hette'. Hette is an old Frisian name that still exists and is being used in Fryslan, the northern part of the Netherlands.
Ton Hettema says: Concerning the name Hettema. It may be that 'son of Hette' is the official explanation of the origin, but then the question remains: what or who is Hette? Why does someone carry this name or stick it on a son? Ma, of course is not 'son', but 'mother'. In the anagram 'AM' it says: 'thats me'. To my understanding, the name means: Warmth. Human Warmth, as is also seen in the coat of arms, which shows a Heart, which is quite strange for heraldry. I would therefore suggest the following interpretation of the name: I was born of human descent, warmed by my mother's heart, which I inherit and hold in high esteem, for human warmth and mutual understanding is my life's motto, a quality which my father directly passed on to me.
Cees Hettema says: One of my ancestors, Pieter Hettes [ 1764-1824] declared on 30 december 1811, in order of the Napoleon law, that he choose the name HETTEMA for him and his children. As a Frisian tradition the suffix -ma means "son of Hette" His father was Hette Pieters.
