Re: Commonwealth Games jawdropper - Indian?
Maybe "Indian" means "Native American" here, enlarging the search space. I was able to locate a second name bearer of the name in the United Kingdom, but not explanations of the source of the name.Just from the sound it could as well be a revival of the long forgotten Old High German name Zeizrich [masculine] (the name element #ZEIS# died out almost completely in the early mediaeval ages. In Low German, specially East Frisian, it survived until today in the form #TET#).
