[Surname] Re: surname VISMARA
in reply to a message by C. Colombo
As you are not telling us anything about the background of the name, all I can do is guess.
There is a German town WISMAR, this probably goes back to two very old Germanic words for "good" and "sea". But there seem to be no records where the name of the city is spelt with a V. Still this might be an adaption to English spelling.
