Where does our name come from?
Hi my name is Holger Noss and I´m living in Germany.
My relatives are coming from the Saarland and the area around the Mosel.
Does anyone of you have an idea where the name noss is coming from and what it originally meant.
I´m a student and i did same research and found out, that the name as name excisted in the 9th century. It meant something like jackass.
Does anyone has an other explanation.
Are there any other known ways how the name Noss changed within the years. In my family tree there are different ways of writting it. (Nohs, Nauss , Noß)
