Van sy moontlike nageslag is ongelukkig niks bekend nie the South African surname Nortje appears to have been of French patronymic origin, deriving from the name of the father of the original bearer, thus affording him a soutable means of identifyinh in his local community.

Alternatively there may also have been a locative origin, deriving from a place where the initial beareronce lived or held land, in this instance "one from the North" and one from the supporting references is rom Calais, one of France's Northenmost towns Among the early references to the name or a variant, we read from the family Nortier, or Nourtier, which sailed from Calais on the vessel Oosterland Daniel NORTIER, een van 3 broers van Picardie, was 'n Franse Hugenoot wat in 1688 met die Oosterland aangekom het.
