The sonntag Surname
sonntag Name Meaning and History
German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): from Middle High German
sun(nen)tac, German Sonntag ‘Sunday’, a nickname for
someone who had some particular connection with Sunday. The German
surname may have arisen from a personal name for a child born on a
Sunday, for this was considered a lucky day. Among Jews, it seems to
have been one of the group of names referring to days of the week that
were distributed at random by government officials.
