ArchivesRe: Where does my last name come from?
in reply to a message by Jen10
Hi Jen,
Gross/Groß is a German surname. The word ´groß´ today just means "tall, big", but earlier the meaning could be even "thick" or "rich". So that surname could describe a person's appearance as well as his/her financial situation.
