I'm Dutch, so i might help:
Katwijk is indeed a city, NOT a first name. It might be listed as a last name in our country, but if it is, it's very very rare. (it would most likely be "Van Katwijk" if it's a surname, because Van refers to "of") Kat means simply Cat, and Wijk means "district" or "quarter" (as in a district in a city). So basically, Katwijk means Cat-district. Pronounciation = Kaht-wike

Katwijk is a place on the west coast of the Dutch province of Zuid-Holland. To hear the pronounciation, go to http://ilk.kub.nl/g2p-www-demo.html, choose 'dutch', fill in katwijk and listen to either sound files.
The meaning might be: the first part refering to a tribe called the Cananefaten or Catten and the second to the latin 'vicus' or settlement.

B.t.w. Katwijk would be used as a surname only I should think, not as a first name.

I've just browsed some websites and have come up with another spelling: 'Chatti'. It seems to have been a German tribe during Roman times. Near the present Katwijk in the first century Roamds build a settlement lugdunum in the area the Chatti would have lived. http://www.livius.org/ga-gh/germania/lugdunum.html
'Chatti (Hessian Franks)
* The Chatti were a turbulent tribe located in Western Germany - they are known to have moved from a homeland around the Weser River in the second half of the 1st Century to a new region around the Main River. They are commented on from c. 83 CE to c. 213 CE, often allyingthemselves with Roman enemies and causing considerable difficulties on the frontier. They seem to have been absorbed into the Frankish people during the 3rd Century, probably as members of a new confederation joining them with the Ripuarians and Salians. Even so, I have notes on Warlords referred to as Chatti toward the end of the 3rd century...
* Atech............................................fl. 280's
* Ascaric.......................................fl. c. 300 with...
* Ragaise.......................................fl. c. 300'

All of this is just from browsing, I have no knowledge on this history myself (although I visited Katwijk frequently on the bike when I still lived nearby).
I am Dutch, but live abroad now.
