Two avenues: one named after myrtle, one after an early settler family.
Myrtle Avenue is named for the myrtle that once grew plentifully in the area. Wyckoff Avenue is named for a family that first arrived in Brooklyn in the 1650s; the house of the first Wyckoff in Brooklyn, Pieter Claesen Wyckoff, still stands in East Flatbush as a museum. He came from Norden in East Frisia; reading his name as Dutch for ‘parish house’ is disputed.
