[Surname] Re: Origin of surname Borsian
in reply to a message by Greg
There are two things I can think of:
BORIS (if there are any Slavonic roots)
BURSA, Dutch "beurs", German "Börse", English "purse" (from Greek "byrsa", fur)I have also come across the last name BURSIAN, but all of this is just guessing.
