Hi all! I'm interested to know the meaning and origin of the surname KUES, which mainly is found in Germany, Belgium, Netherlands. Another spelling is KUESS or KUEß. There is no connection with the philosopher Nikolaus von Kues (1401-1464), and there is probably no connection with the German city Kues or Bernkastel-Kues. Regards, Guido

Hallo, KÜSS/KUS/KUOS - je nach Region verschiedene Bedeutung : 1) im Norddeutschen Raum entweder vion und mnd. "kuse" = Keule, Backenzahn oder von kuose = weibliches Kalb oder Schaf abgeleitet 2) in Süddeutschland entweder kurzform von Konrad oder tatsächlich vom Wort Kuss.
