"-witz" is a Germanized version of the Slavic suffix spelled variously as "-vic," "-wicz," "-vich," etc. It means "son of" or "family of" or "clan of". <br>
<br>So I suppose that makes you "Son of son"? :)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 1:51 PM, Son of Witz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Sonofwitz@butcherbaker.org">Sonofwitz@butcherbaker.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

My progeny said he wanted his nickname to be Witz. I told him it was taken, and that if anything, he was SonOfSonOfWitz.<br>

Not sure what Bennewitz means. My HS german teacher said with Italian and German I was " a good joke" and if you replace hebrew for Italian I'm "Son of Witz"<br>
