Etymology of Danciger

The Danciger surname was a habitational name, taken on from the place name Danzig, on the Baltic Sea, in present day Poland. As Danzig was a busy port city, the name may have been acquired by merchants who then took the name with them on their travels, as well by people who were born there and moved away.

Alternatively, the name could have from Dantzer (Upper German) which now translates as dancer as in a minstrel. The name could have also been from Danzevuoß, near Mainz 1281, (Lower German.) 1
