[Surname] Re: Morgenster
in reply to a message by Auriel
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.
Same in German
