Help[Surname] Re: But what does SPIELDENNER mean? (nt)
in reply to a message by Jim Young
You are right: "dener" or "denner" is not important, I guess. Now your theory sounds very interesting. But I can't find anything like "dener" or "denner", not even in Grimm's 33 volume Wörterbuch, and they should really have it. All I could find was Old High German (time of Charles the Great) "dennen", which corresponds with the modern word "dehnen" (stretch, spread). Any ideas with that?
