Re: Three surnames
in reply to a message by Getb2
What I meant to say about Sibbick is that I know it's English and that it's found primarily in Hampshire (see http://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=sibbick) but I have no idea of it's origin. Butendach is German as I said before and I suspect it might be a variant of Butendeich which means 'outer dike'.

oh ok, thanks :D and what would be the part that means "dike"? the "deich" I guess? and "Buten" would mean "Outer"? (thanks, thanks a lot).
