Question:

What is the nationality of the last name Huish?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It has many possible origins. Clearly everyone can't have all these ethnicities, so the name developed independently in several countries at the same time.

The predominant group of immigrants with that name came from Britain. Most just declared "British", but there are also declarations of "Welsh" and "Scottish".

There are also several who are German/Prussian.

A few were Austrian and a few were Norwegian.


It bears repeating that names don't have nationalities, people do. So in tracing the name you need to identify the country of origin of your immigrant ancestor to know the origins of your name.
