Help[Surname] Re: could anyone tell me anything about this surname?
in reply to a message by siras_kelseyo
The spelling is German but the name looks Slavic. This suggests that the name is either Sorbian, Lusatian, etc., belonging to the Slavic speaking peoples of Eastern Germany; or it's a Czech or Polish name whose spelling has been changed after migration to Germany.
The meaning may be the same as another German/Slav surname, Boschan, which is said to be a diminutive of some Slavic given name such as Boleslav or Boguslav.
