[Fritz Goerling]

Dear Hayim,
 
Although my parents were Prussians and I lived the first nine years of my
life in Prussia, and though I know
these names from up north like Krew-in, I have to admit to my shame that I
cannot answer any of your
questions.
 
Fritz
 
 
 So Sheynin is one who relates to a clan of Sheyna; Zislin is one who
relates to clan of Zisla, Zeitlin (from Zeitel or Zeitla), Yentin (from
Yenta, which is in its turn from Romance Gentile/Gentille), etc. In Russian
Karen-in, Trayn-in, Volod-in, Marin-in, Stal-in, Len-in. But can you
eluminate me, what is the meaning of -in in Prussian names like
Cronin/Kronin and of similar morphology. Is he related to Krone (a coin) or
to the crown?
In Rissian you sometime encounter doubling of relation suffixes:
Mari-in-skij.
 
Best wishes,
Hayim
