Help[Surname] Does anyone know about this name?
My grandfather's last name was Henemader. It is of German origin, so I am told. Apparently he was born in Germany. There is a German spelling of this name as well apparently. Can anyone help with more information ... or suggest how I can find more information. Thanks.

Henemader is an alteration of Huenemoerder (modern Hünemörder) as you can see at http://tr.im/UPD1. According to Bahlow's dictionary, it could mean 'giant killer', hence the nickname of a muscleman.
