Origin Displayed: German Where did the German tonsing family come from? What is the German coat of arms/family crest? When did the tonsing family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name? The German surname tonsing originated as a short form of the Roman name Antonius (the English Anthony.) It is the name of two major Christian saints, St. Anthony (ca.250-350,) who was the father of Christian monasticism, and Anthony of Padua (1195-1231), the Franciscan monk, who became the patron saint of Padua and Portugal. In granting their children holy names, medieval parents sought to reaffirm their Christian beliefs and to secure protection from the namesake. The name Tnsing is a Low German diminutive of the name Antonius, and Tnnies is a short form, as in Tnnies Alberdes, recorded in Lippe in 1571. Other German variants include Don, Ton, Thon and Dohn. The surname tonsing, thus, comes about as a patronymic, a surname derived from the personal name of the father. Spelling variations of this family name include: Tnnies, Tnies, Tns, Tnniges, Toenniges, Tuns, Tnsing, Tnsen, Tnnsen, Tnjes, Tnsmann, Tnsmeyer, Tnnissen, Thon, Thons, Thonissen and many more. First found in Westphalia and the Lower Rhineland, where the name tonsing emerged in medieval times as one of the notable families of the region.
