[Surname] surname meaning for family crest
I would like to know the meaning behind surname SELJAN, I would like to create a family crest for a flag and give this to my husband as a gift.
I believe the ethnic background is Hungarian or/and yugoslavian. My Maiden name is NEIS, and would like to know the meaning behind that as well. I think that is French.

Seljan means "villager" in Croatian. Neis is a German name derived from Denis.
