Etymology

From Middle Low German bôchêm, bôkhêm, equivalent to bôke, bö̂ke (“beech”) + hêm (“home”). Doublet of Buchheim. The suffix was reduced to (see -em) and then backed under influence of the preceding velar. The may go back to spelling pronunciation or influence by a Central German dialect. It could also be a native development → as in Dutch lichaam, but the popular form in Westphalian Low German is Baukem.
