Green is a common surname derived from several languages, most commonly in Scotland. ==Etymology== # one of the most common and widespread of English surnames, either a nickname for someone who was fond of dressing in this color (Old English grēne) or who had played the part of the "Green Man" in the May Day celebrations, or a topographic name for someone who lived near a village green, Middle English grene (a transferred use of the color term). In North America this name has no doubt assimilated cognates from other European languages, notably German Grün. # Irish: translation of various Irish surnames derived from glas "gray", "green", "blue". See also Fahey. # North German: short form of a habitational name from a place name with Gren- as the first element (for example Greune, Greubole). # Jewish (American): Americanized form of German Grün or Yiddish Grin, Ashkenazic ornamental names meaning ‘green’ or a short form of any of the numerous compounds with this element. # Scandinavia: a quite common Scandinavian surname, which also can be spelled ''Gren''. The surname comes from the Scandinavian word for (tree) branch, "gren". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Green (surname)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
