I couldn't find exact information on your surname. I would assume however that the surname Wijnaldum come from the town - Wijnaldum, Netherlands. Since you said that your ancestors came from the Netherlands there is a pretty good change the surname originally meant someone who was from the town of Wijnaldum.
