Question

What is the derivation of the surname Ruttkamp?

Answer 1

I cannot find the derivation of Ruttkamp anywhere, but if you break the name down it would seem to be a descriptive name, of a countryside feature ? Perhaps where someone lived.

Rutt : rot, in German, means red  =  Rutt - ?

Kamp, means : a plot of land, a field.

Sorry ! Best I can come up with.

The Ruttkamps came from Germany.

Answer 3

The name is Teutonic/Germanic in origin.
