Dictionary
of German Names
Second
Edition
Hans Bahlow
Translated and revised by Edda Gentry
German names from Aa to Zyrus
A boon for genealogical research
and an interesting browse for the merely curious, this detailed
dictionary is an English-language reference for more than 15,000
German family names, including variant spellings as well as the
meaning and origin of each name. Some entries will provoke a
chuckle, others a bit of embarrassment, still others a sense
of wonder and pride. This second edition of an already popular
resource has been expanded throughout and includes many corrections
and enhancements.
"A classic
for anyone interested in their German ancestry and an invaluable
tool for North Americans trying to determine what part of Germany
they came from."

for the Max Kade Institute for German-American Studies
