Position:Home>Genealogy> What is the orgin of this last name?Question:Otten and Jennerjohn? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Otten and Jennerjohn? The names you are looking for are of Low German and/or Dutch origin. I have found two maps, which will help you on: http://www.verwandt.de/karten/absolut/ot... http://www.verwandt.de/karten/absolut/je... The name Jennerjohn is most likely coming from Mecklenburg as a variation of Jennerjahn, which can be found much more often. Dutch Dutch, most likely. Possibly, Swedish or Finnish. I think Otten is Dutch and Jennerjohn is German. I tried on some Genealogy sites and it seemed to be this way German or something close to it This is what www.ancestry.com has to say about the names Otten English: variant of Ott, from the Old French oblique case. North German and Dutch: patronymic from the personal name Otto (see Ott). We have no name meaning and origin for Jennerjohn sorry I couldn't help any more than that. |
