Question:

How to spell a surname sounds like sierick?

my daughter was adopted and this is her adopted name someone told me this is how it sounds


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Try Zierik and Zierick. I have seen both spellings on the Internet. Based on some of the results I turned up, this name is apparently Dutch. It may also be Swiss. Remember, one of their cities, Zurich, sounds similar to this.

Here's another idea for you. Go to ancestry.com or genealogy.com or both, and go to the message boards. Try to find a spelling which sounds similar to the way this name sounds. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of different surnames listed there. You can also do a generic search on the Internet by entering various spellings which produce the same sounding name.
