Bronwyn, I don't know if this will help you, but I have a Zeno in my family tree. I have his birth record listing him as Zeno (born 1928). The father of Zeno was definately from Polish ancestry. The mother was of Polish/possibly Russia-Polish ancestry. Also 2 birth records of Zeno's children, listing him as Zeno. Hope this helps, Ruth Pokorny I also found this on the internet: http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Zeno The boy's name Zeno \z(e)-no\ is pronounced ZE-noh. It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "gift of Zeus". Zenon was the name of two Greek philosophers. Zeno of Verona (fourth century) was an Italian saint. Zeno has 3 variant forms: Zenon, Zino and Zinon. For more information, see also the related name Xenos. Baby names that sound like Zeno are Xeno, Zane, Zann, Zan and Zuni. Zeno is a very rare male first name and a very popular surname (source: 1990 U.S. Census). Displayed below is the baby name popularity trend for the boy's name Zeno. Compare Zeno with related baby names. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bronwyn Klimach" <bronklimach@gmail.com> To: <poland-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 5:11 AM Subject: Re: [POLAND] FYI- PolishOrigins? > Hi, > Do you know if Zenon intends for locations given to be the current Polish > names, pre-WWII names, or both? > http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?t=152 > I have failed miserably in my registration attempts on this site - > probably > because I cannot tell whether an O is a letter or number ... > Kind regards, > Bronwyn. > > On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 6:14 AM, MiPolonia <cjensen@mipolonia.net> wrote: > >> URL: http://places.polishorigins.com >> >> TITLE: PolishOrigins?
