mondhoek

Mondhoek is a Dutch toponym used for multiple rural localities in Dutch-speaking regions. The name combines mond, meaning "mouth" or "edge," with hoek, meaning "corner," "bend," or "angle," and typically refers to a geographic feature such as a river bend, the mouth of a stream, or a boundary corner in a field or estate.

In the Netherlands, Belgium, and South Africa, Mondhoek appears as the name of small hamlets, farms, or estate names. These places are generally small, rural, and administratively part of larger municipalities or districts. Due to its generic components, the same toponym has arisen independently in different regions.

Historically, Mondhoek entries show up in cadastral maps and parish records where land parcels were identified by landscape landmarks. The name remains in use in several regions as a heritage toponym, though it is not typically linked to a distinct urban center.
