ArchivesRe: Tonning (German)
in reply to a message by Bobby Darin
According to Berger, Geographische Namen in Deutschland, the place-name Tonning is from:
Middle Low German "tun" (fence, garden). The book says that there is the same word in Old English, but I don't know what the equivalent in modern English would be; in modern German you have "Zaun" (fence).
