Hello, HUGO - German Name used both as first- and surname, derived from old German "hugu" (Old German for "mind, intelligence, sense") Regards, Ingolf Vogel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ellen Irwin" <eirwin@netsync.net> To: <SURNAME-ORIGINS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 2:08 AM Subject: [SURNAME-ORIGINS] Hugo, Smigerski > Does anyone know the origins of the surnames HUGO, SMIGERSKI. > > Thank you

Smigerski.. From an action. Fling, Flit, Swish.

HUGO (English [Cornwall]) Variation of HUGH, from the Old French personal name "Hu(gh)e", introduced into Britain by the Normans. The origin is a short form of any Germanic name with the first element "hug" (heart, mind, spirit). In Scotland and Ireland the name has been widely used as an equivalent of Celtic "Aodh" (fire). ---Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges. SMIGERSKI ?

Hi! Can anyone help me with the origin of the surname KUMNICK? Mine come from Flatow West Prussia. Also, does anyone know the origin of the name KAPERNICK? Regards Chris Schmidt

KUMNICK - couldn't find the name as given but did find: \ KUNNEKE, KUNICK (German) Forms of "KONRAD, KUNRAD" (daring or brave counsel). A very popular name during the Middle Ages. ---Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges. KAPENICK - couldn't find as given but did find: \ KAPERNICK (German) = KOPERNICK = KOPPERNIG in Upper Saxony. This info comes from "German Names" by Hans Bahlow. Using this as a starting point I found in "A Dictionary of Surnames": \ KOPERNIK (Polish) Diminutive of KOPER, a topographic name from Polish "koper" (dill, fennel), or an occupational name for a grower or seller of dill or fennel. Whether the two names are actually related, I can't say. They SOUND similar, and LOOK similar but there isn't an actual definition in the German Names book, so one is kind of left in the dark.

KARNUK ? Did find a similar sounding name: KARNAP. It's a German name and means "bay window". Found that in German Names by Hans Bahlow. WELCH (English, Irish) Variation of WALSH. 1. English: name for a Celt, from Middle English "walsche" meaning Celtic, foreign (Old English "waelisc", a derivative of "wealh" meaning foreign. 2. Irish: translation of the Gaelic name "Breathnach" ('British', 'Welsh'). GALLUP (English) Variation of GALLOP, apparently a nickname for a rash or impetuous person, from "gallop" (run). ---Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges.

Hello, I'm searching the origins and meanings of KARNUK, WELCH, and GALLUP. I have no information on the surname KARNUK; it's a family friends name. She says it may be Ukranian... possibly spelled Karnak originally, but I have no idea. Thanks for any help, ~Mike

I surmised he was a Spanish soldier during the occupation of the Netherlands who married a Dutch girl but I've never known a Spanish Banta either. I should have thought of Google; I use it every day. Thanks for checking.

There appears to be quite a few names from the Netherlands. Perhaps it will help you somewhat. It is on something called GenCircles so maybe you should go through Google just like I did or you may not get in. I simply typed in like this: "Banta surname" Then click on Banta surname individiuals. I quickly looked it over then clicked on Banta by Marsha Hickman at the top. Good luck, Mary PS There may be other things on Google.

Couldn't find the name but did find: \ BANTIN (English) The son of little Bana (slayer). ---Source: New Dictionary of American Family Names by Elsdon C. Smith. also: \ BANTIN (Germany) Place name near Hagenow in Mecklenburg. ---Source: German Names by Hans Bahlow. That's as close as I could come to it.
