Meaning of this name is unknown.

Rutger van Zwieten says: There used to be a little castle in Zoeterwoude (South Holland - the Netherlands) called "huis te Zwieten".http://www.landgoedenbuitenplaats-zh.nl/zoeken-op-kaart/detailpagina/q/id/67 Zwiet is understood to be Frysian for Sweet. Another explanation is it is derived from zwet/zwette, which is used for border.Probably a reference to the water in that part. The name was originally spelled "van Swieten" but somewhere in the 16-hundreds all of a sudden a son of "van Swieten" started using the name "van Zwieten". So one branch of the family is still called "van Swieten", the other "van Zwieten". The "van" in front of the name is an inseparable part of the name, since it refers to a place i.c. a castle where the family used to live in the middle ages.(because "van" is only a preposition, it is usually written without Capital)
