Patronyme Suffixe give referring to the name of the founder or an important person inPlace name (patron), e.g. Rochlitz to the slawischen first name Rochol, Jülich (< Juliacum) after Julius Caesar. An important part of these Ortsnamensuffixe are originally no Suffixe, since it actually concerns thereby etyma, also aloneare wordable (e.g.- live, - home, - to yard) in each case form and with the front name part ( the regulation word ) Composita (compositions).
