[Surname] Re: Surnames Suveges, Steier and Sevic
in reply to a message by bjs90
Süveges is a Hungarian name derived from süveg 'high fur cap', the nickname of someone who made these items or habitually wore one. You'll find the origin of Steier at http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Steier-family-history.ashx. It can also be a variant of Steuer which is at http://www.ancestry.com/facts/steuer-family-history.ashx. Šević is Serbo-Croatian but I don't have the etymology.
