An anglicisation of the German Weissang surname. Though a surface analysis might suggest the meaning "wise song", the German surname is actually an alteration—due to influence from German Sang (“song”)—of a derivative of Middle High German wīssage (“soothsayer”). The Middle High German word was inherited from Old High German wīzzago (“soothsayer, seer”), which in turn was inherited from Proto-West Germanic *wītagō (“wise one; prophet”). Ultimately of the same origin as the English word wiseacre, and cognate with German Weissager.

About this data
measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated
These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.
Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.
Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
