Re: Morgenster
Morgen means "morning" in German, Danish and Dutch I believe. The ster part sounds like "star" but I'm not positive. Does the name mean morning star when put together in German, Dutch or Danish?I think it is nice sounding and it's not a surname I've actually heard people having.

In modern Dutch Morgen means 'morning' or 'tomorrow' and Ster means 'star'. So for a Dutch person Morgenster is 'morning star', I'm not sure if that's the etymological origin of the last name though.
