Last name origins & meanings:
- Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic): ornamental name or occupational
name for a woodcutter or someone who sold wood, from German
Holz ‘wood’, altered under Russian influence, since Russian has
no h and alters h in borrowed words to g.
- Eastern German (under Slavic influence): habitational name for
someone from Golz or Golssen in eastern Germany, place names that may
derive from Slavic gola ‘heath’.
