MANZANARES - The most likely translation would probably be "one who lived where there were many apple trees." ----- Original Message ----- From: ritacjk Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 7:40 PM To: SURNAME-ORIGINS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SURNAME-ORIGINS] MANZANARES Hello, I'm looking for any information on the origins/meaning of surname; "MANZANARES" ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237

MANZANARES - (Spanish). A manzanar is an apple. The word can also mean a "neighborhood" or block of houses. The famous concentration camp for Japanese and Japanese-Americans is named Manzanar.

Couldn't find the name as given but did find: 1. DANECKE (German, of Slavic origin) Diminutive of Daniel or of any of the Slavic personal names containing the element "dan-" (gift). 2. DANECKE (Low German) Diminutive of DEHNHARDT, DAHNHARD(T), DEHNERT, DAHNERT, or THIENERT, cognates of the German "DEINHARD", from the Germanic personal name composed of the elements "degen" (warrior, hero) + "hard" (hardy, brave, strong). Don't know if these names are related to the one you give. Because of the spelling of your name it looks Italian, but I couldn't find it in my Italian source. ---Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges.

> Perhaps it's because I'm not German speaking myself, but I'm having trouble > understanding the leap from Jacob/Yaakov to Kusch. What am I missing ??? ...three other ideas for KUSCH 1. Still today the word KUSCH is used in Germany. For example as an order for a dog to lay down and to be quiet. 2. KUSCHELN in German means: being tender, nestling up 3.But a KUSCHEL (and also KUSSEL) is something like a little, not well grown tree. You have to search the origin for KUSCHEL in the baltic area - for example in Lithunian it means something like "weak" or "wretched". But I prefer a real french (huguenot?) origin (couche!)... I don't think, that KUES and KUSCH are related!!! Both appear as names in Germany. But: The -UE- combination in KUES is not very common for a word or name with German origin. As an English/American you would pronounce it like -OU-. Same is with the surname BUES, which is also found in Germany, but this either does not seem to me to have a German origin. (thanks again Ingolf and Barbara!) Regards, Guido
