You know that is a hard one since I never heard that name; however, it sounds Swedish or Norweigan to me, but I could be wrong.

I was wrong! It's Irish .Look here:http://www.houseofnames.com/xq/asp.c/qx/...

Think it's English. Means of the Nobility.

All that is going to be relevant is when/where the gr grandma was born, and who her parents were. The rest of them being German is completely distinct.
Gen's mom CLEARLY shows that the name may come from any number of locations, thus any assumed ethnicity is simply an assumption.
