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:

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.
