Re: German Surname Göcking/Goeking Help
in reply to a message by Sean Foglai
Looking through a German dictionary I came accross the word Ing. It looks like it can be added at the end of another word. It indicates someone is an engineer.
So maybe Gock (male bird) ing (engineer) were combined. Hmm... an engineer of birds? Can Gock be used to refer to something else?

Ing is short for Ingenieur (engineer). It's not added.
