Help[Surname] Re: Is the surname "Hoze" a middle eastern surname?
in reply to a message by xyc
I don't see this as a Middle Eastern name. I think it's Western European. Possible explanations -
Dutch, Hoos, possibly deriving from the forename Joseph.
German, Hos,Hoose,Hoese, meaning unknown to me.
English, Hoes, Howes; among several names deriving from the Old English hoh, meaning a projecting ridge of land. Alternatively, Hose, a metonymic for a seller of hose.
