    My last name is Broshious and it’s not German in origin. Yes there are some variations of our name in Germany but also in Greece, Italy, England, France and America. It’s Ancient Greek in origin meaning Immortal.

    Actually it is an Ancient Greek name which basically translates to Immortal.

    Really Ancient Greek, not Latin? Brosius sounds typically like a
    latinized name i.e. Acricola = Bauer (German) = Farmer(?, English).
    There are many such latin names in Germany like Musculus, Portius or
    Gropius etc.
