Help[Facts] Sarkander.
Would someone be so kind as to provide some information about this Czech/Polish name? It was apparently the surname of a saint, namely John Sarkander - but it seems like it is a patronymic to me, ultimately derived from a first name. Could that first name even have been of Greek origin (if so, then I see Greek andros "man" in it)?
Sarkander also somewhat reminds me of the Armenian surname Sarkisian, but whether they are etymologically related to each other, is uncertain to me.
Thank you for any information that you can provide. :)
