danzig Name Meaning and History

Jewish (Ashkenazic): habitational name from Danzig, German name of Gdansk, the main port of Poland, on the Baltic Sea. The wide distribution of the name from an early date suggests that in many cases it may have been acquired by merchants who traded with the city, as well as those who were actually born there.
