You're welcome :)
I tried to figure out if Cunitz/Kunitz is related to Kuntz, but I can't find any meaning for it, just the toponym Kunitzburg... (Kuntz on the other hand means 'Little Konrad'). Does anyone know the meaning of Kunitz?

I do have some information at home on the Family name, from Germany.
My Dad says that the family fisrt spelled the name Kunitz. Settled down around the Gulf Coast, there was a falling out and some went up to the upper midwest and changed the spelling to Cunitz. How true that is I don't know. Like I said I have some information at home on the German meaning of it.
