Question:

Does anyone have the last name "Nuss" or know anyone with that last name?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: As the other fellow said, it is german for nut. It is likely that the name was originally Nussbaum (nut tree). Your ancestors may have lived in a place noted for a particular tree, such as a large walnut tree, or perhaps they had a nut orchard.
