Meaning of Waldeck

I found this on Ancestry.com:

Waldeck

German and Jewish (western Ashkenazic): habitational name from a place in Hesse, on the Eder river, probably named from Old High German wald ‘wood’, ‘forest’ + ecka, egga ‘corner’, ‘nook’. (Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4)

Also, following up on the reference to “western Ashkenazic”

The name Ashkenaz was applied in the Middle Ages to Jews living along the Rhine River in northern France and western Germany. The center of Ashkenazi Jews later spread to Poland-Lithuania and now there are Ashkenazi settlements all over the world. The term “Ashkenaz” became identified primarily with German customs and descendants of German Jews.
