Nemitz Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(Polish, Czech-Slovakian, Russian) One who came from Germany, a German. Literally one who could not speak, i.e., a mute.
User-submitted Reference
It is a word that means 'mute'. It originated in the time when the German-Polish borders were changing. One day you would be in Germany, and the next you would be in Poland. When this happened, you very rarely spoke the language of the country you were now considered to be in, so people would call you a "Nemitz" because you couldn't speak.
- izzin15Derived from the Slavic/Polish word niemiec, which means 'German'.
