Question:

Does anyone know the basic origin and meaning of the last name Sensenig?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Captain Sintzenich said the name is Austrian, and has no particular meaning, indicating Slavic influence. Another Austrian found fault with the Virginia Senseneys for their way of spelling the name, saying that it should be Sensenig. The letters e and i have about the same value in pronunciation, and if e takes the place of i in Captain Sintzenich??s name, we have Sentzenich, which is exactly the same in pronunciation as Sensenich, which is one of the branches of the big "Sensiney" family. Lately, we have found out that the name Sensenig is found in Denmark.
