Ancijonis

ANCIJÓNIS

Etymology

Cf. Latin surn. Ancans (RTAS 55). Pvt. Ancijónis and Anciónis (see). The origin is not entirely clear. But perhaps they are not derivatives of the Lithuanian patronymic suffix -onis from Áncas (see). Rather, they are reworkings (especially due to geography) from Limm. Ancāns (RTAS 55), which in turn is apparently a Germanism - German. Hanson or something.
