Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]
@Ctorsak7
Hi, maybe I'm not telling you anything new, but maybe my information is helping you?
My surname is Torz and my family is from Romania.
My grandfather is from Transilvania and actually his name was Torţ (spelled Torts). We're living in Germany now and they changed our name, as Torz here is spelled Torts.
Torţă is a Romanian word für torch.
Funny thing: The German word for the Castle Bran in Transilvania is Törzburg. Burg means Castle and I don't know a German word, which is similar to Torz or Törz, could be an old word? Castle Bran is the Castle which is told the tourists to be the Dracula Castle.
