Re: The Name Meanings are NOT accurate at All.
in reply to a message by lala
Can anyone tell me the meaning of the name Helminger? I have also found it spelled on gravestones, Hellminger. I would appreciate any help. Thank you. Kathy Helminger

I think HELMINGER is a personal name derived from the place-name Helming. As far as I can see, there are three places by that name in Germany and they are all located in Bavaria. The place-name again probably goes back to a personal name with the Germanic element "Helm" (helmet), like Helmfried or Helmbrecht. I wouldn't get confused by the double L.Hope this helps.Andy ;—)
