Help[Surname] Re: Horkheimer and Rimensberger
in reply to a message by Getb
The name Hork is a variant of the German name Hock, whose origin you will find here http://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?view=2&surname=Hock . Variants of the surname Horkheimer is Herkheimer, the English Herxheimer, Hockheimer and others.
The name Rimens is also a variant, along with Remen, Rymen, Reimen. There are at least three possible origins of this name I could think of. One is that perhaps Rimens is a variant of the name Reimann, and according to http://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?view=2&surname=Reimann, Reimann is from Rheinmann, denoting someone from Rhineland. The 2nd is that Rimens could be from the personal name Raymond, also as the surname Reim. Lastly, perhaps the surname Rimens is from the personal name Rembert. A variant of Rembert is Remberg, which is very closely spelt to the surname Rimensberger.
A Similar surname I've found of Rimensberger is Rhineberger. Variants of Rhineberger are Rheinberger, Rinebarger, Rineberger, Rinenberger, and possibly others. I think, most likely of the three origins, that Rimensberger is a variant of Rhineberger.
I'll look further into the name Rimens sometime later.
