Phonetically it sounds like it should be spelled Kinnock. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The name is derived from a Lower German word "Knaa(c)k" which means "bone" (High German/ modern Standard German: "Knochen"). So the name was probably given to an ancestor of yours who was a butcher in northern Germany. |
