Meaning of my surname.....
The true form of my surname is Jucknies. I´ve determined that it is a very rare name. My Opa changed it to Juknies when he emigrated to Canada. He originally came from Szargillen, Kreismeinschaft Labiau, Ostpreußen after WWI. The name may have some Lithuanian roots, but I can´t confirm that. Any idea on the root and or meaning of the name would be appreciated. Danke schön.

In case the two are related, they may have something to do with "jung" (young).
