Jewish (Ashkenazic): habitational name from Danzig, German
name of Gdansk, the main port of Poland, on the Baltic Sea. The
wide distribution of the name from an early date suggests that in many
cases it may have been acquired by merchants who traded with the city,
as well as those who were actually born there.
