Just listened to an interview with Paul van Dyk, I decided to
write something about it.
Paul said, the name VANDIT had been found when he had played
SCRABBLE (sure, you know this game). They had drunk about 2 bottles of red wine and then someone invented the word "Vandit". I believe,
everybody can imagine this situation. Red Wine + lousy letters =
strange new words!!!
Hope, I could help.
Bye

no dit means nothing in German

Hello,
heh, I did not know this. I have never bothered asking. Eventually I will though.
my response has nothing to do with vandit, but isn't van dyk pronounced "van dook" and not "van dyke", too? or something to that effect?

There was an interview on a german Radio-station called Sputnik but it had been in german.
For that reason I translated it and post it.

i thought the name came from a bad spelling of bandit because when you want to type b the v is close to the b. so i thought it was someone with fat fingers and couldnt type.
