Reply to: Re: ? meaning of this name by Elinor
ß is the symbol Elinor meant. It's called an ess-tset and is one of the few remnants from Old German script. Groß is indeed big and "der Große" means the big/large man. große (note the lower case g) is groß plus -e, a common adjective ending in German.
