Summary
With
regard
to
the
origin
of
the
ancestors
of
the
ZWIR
T
Z
families
and
a
possible meaning of the surname, the following can be summarised:
The
sources
currently
available,
accessible
or
at
hands
do
not
provide
ultimate
evidence
neither
about
the
origin
of
the
family
nor
the
meaning
of
the family name ZWIR
T
Z.
Based
upom
the
documented
geographic
appearance
of
the
family
name
ZWIR
T
Z
and
taking
into
account
the
chronology
one
can
conclude
that
the
family
has
its
origin
in
Central
Europe.
Conclusion
To-date,
neither
origin
of
the
early
ancestors
of
the
ZWIR
T
Z
families
nor
the
meaning
of
the
surname
can
be
proven,
and,
accordingly,
any related statements being made have to be considered speculation.
t͡svɪɐ̯tt͡s
?!
Over
the
centuries,
a
modification
of
the
family
name‘s
diction
has
occured
multiple
times.
After
analysis
of
available
documents
there
is
evidence,
that
at
least
since
1831,
the
current
spelling
of
the
family
name
‚ZWIRTZ‘
remained
unchanged
(apart
from
one
document
which
has
to
be
considered
erroneous).
There
is
also
proof
that,
in
a
few
cases,
the
surname
had
been
modified
by
ancestors
of
the
ZWIR
T
Z
family on purpose.
