American Seeking Help

Hello. I have no idea where else to look, but I am seeking the help in finding out the meaning of the name "Kadtke". I live in the United States and that is my surname. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Ah, endlich ein Familienname, den ich kenne! Andrä! Die vorherige Antwort war sehr informativ, aber dies ist der einzige Name, zu dem ich beitragen kann ...
Dieser Name wurde von Generation zu Generation geändert, immer amerikanischer, so dass es jetzt Andrews ist! Es war Endre / Endres / Andrä aus Harthausen, Ludwigshafen. Sie können ihnen nicht die Schuld geben, dass sie ihren Namen für das Wohl ihrer Nachbarn angepasst haben. Als sie in Northampton, Pennsylvania, ankamen, waren sie einfach froh, von den plündernden Franzosen und dem verächtlichen Englisch fern zu sein - sie liebten Amerika. lol

KOTTKE around 450 entries in 178 different counties. Most of them federal state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern / Germany.
The etymology of the name: Firstly, there is a metronym Name of Parent (great-great-great (-) grandmother). The name comes from the name Katherine. The suffix -ke is a diminutive, affectionate form within the meaning of Kathrinchen. The name Katharina derived from classical Greek: katharos =clean; pure: the Pure.
However, I would add that the etymology of the name is not known with certainty. Further details are presented: Kadke, Katke, Kattke. Kottke = Kotte (a small building, house; hut)
