Meaning and origin of the Klos last name
Meaning of the Klos last name: distinct German and Polish nickname or name forms. German Klos can represent Kloos or Kloss. Polish Klos may shorten Mikołaj or correspond to Kłos, a cereal-ear nickname. Accent loss in records can obscure these alternatives. A farming interpretation should therefore not be imposed on every Klos family, especially where the documented route is a personal name.
