Knifong?
I'm looking for a bit of info on the surname "Knifong." I've tried to look into its history and origins, and from my basic research, it appears to be Dutch, German, or Gaelic. I've found it listed as any number of the three on a variety of webpages. Could anyone add any insight?Thank you!

Knifong and Nifong are Americanizations of German Neufang (see tinyurl.com/brj3wc7) which is a placename in Bavaria.
