Neisess Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

Family Lore: Named after a river located some place in Germany. It is an Americanized version of the German last name, Neises. When immigrating from Germany customs officials at Ellis Island thought the names sounded like it should have and extra "s" at the end, based on how it was pronounced. Since then you can recognize Neisesses who are descendants from those German immigrants based on that extra "s." Those whose name is spelled the original way but live in America are likely descendant from people who immigrated before or after that specific period in history.
