Younger Name Meaning
English (mainly Borders): from Middle English yonger
‘younger’, hence a distinguishing name for, for example, the younger
of two bearers of the same personal name. In one case, at least,
however, the name is known to have been borne by an immigrant Fleming,
and was probably an Americanized form of Middle Dutch jongheer
‘young nobleman’ (see Jonker).Americanized spelling of
various cognate or like-sounding names in other languages, notably
German Junger and Junker, or Dutch Jonker.
