Position:Home>Genealogy> Does anyone know the meaning of the name......?Question: Does anyone know the meaning of the name......?does anyone know the meaning of the last name Deusterman(german) and the last name Melstrom? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Deuster is...German: nickname for a grim or low-spirited person, from Middle High German dinster, duster ??black??, ??dark??, ??grim??. So I would guess the man on the end is redundant and probably added to Deuster some time is history. I also saw that Deusterman from the Census originated from Minnesota in the U.S. in the ~1880's. Melstrom but may be a short form of Maelstrom which means: a large, swirling body of water. |
