ArchivesRe: Knossalla??
in reply to a message by Jim Young
The variant Knosalla is also found in various parts of Germany (as is Knosala) as you can see at http://www.verwandt.de/karten/absolut/knosalla.html but it's not as common as Knossalla. The name doesn't 'look' German and yet it seems to be pretty common there. All three variants are found in Poland as can be seen at http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/ but they're much less widespread.

Hey, that site is too cool. http://www.verwandt.de/karten/absolut/knossalla.html actually pinpoints exactly where my friend lives! That's definitely going into my favourites.

The moikrewny site is new to me, and a useful addition - cheers, Marc. The Knosala distribution map suggests that the name is Silesian, i.e., belonging to a mixed German-Czech-Polish province. German Knossalla, on the other hand is more scattered.
There is a German surname,Knöss, which is discussed on this site -http://www.familie-greve.de/index.php?name=lexikon
but my ignorance of German prevents me from following the discussion.
