Derek Leung
Derek is a masculine given name. It is the English language short form of ''Diederik'', the Low Franconian form of the name Theodoric.

Low German and Dutch short forms of Diederik are Dik, Dirck, and Dirk. History The English form of the name arises in the 15th century, via import from the Low Countries.
