Dear Mr Gaston,
as the name "Glessner" is not related to names as "Glaeser", "Glaesner" or "Glaser",
its etymological meaning is a different one.
The "Glaeser"-Names have the profession of the "Glaser" as origin, which is the guy who produces or works with "Glas" (engl. glass).
The name "Glessner" comes from the medieval german expression "Gleisner". A Gleisner was, and Im sorry to disappoint you :] nothing but
a Cheater, Gambler or Fraud. Short: A professional Liar.
I had to get used to that, you can guess!
Mail me if you have further questions...
P.S. The "Glaser"related names come from the medieval german as well.
