ArchivesRe: What does my name means - Sorge
in reply to a message by Vincent Sorge
This surname in USA comes from two different immigration: an earlier german immigration and after an italian immigration coming from Italy:
The region of Rome (Frosinone) and Sicily the provinces of Palermo and Catania.
The pronounciation is different in Germany and in Italy.
The german variant could be: first possibility the surname has come from a nickname. The second one from a name of a place (locative surname).
The sicilian variant comes from a nickname: surge in Sicilian means "mouse" there are two other surnames in Italy with the same meaning, SORCE and SORCI and of course RATTI.
The roman variant could have the same meaning but I am not sure.
