[Facts] Pretsel
My grandad has a middle name called Pretsel. He is Scottish but with possibly russian heritage. Can anyone please help me find out more about where this name comes from

Says it's a Scottish surname. Like namebug mentioned, could've been to honor his maternal lineage. http://www.surnamedb.com/surname.aspx?name=Pretsel

You do know that "pretsel" is an alternate spelling of "pretzel", right?

Pretsel seems to be a Scottish surname.
Perhaps it was in honor of a mother or grandmothers maiden name?
