What country is the last name “Dinstitt “ from?

Answer 1

It sounds Dutch to me.

Answer 2

America.......... and is likely a surname of a non English langauge country where they changed the spelling of it when they migrated to the USA to help them fit in

Answer 3

With the "exact spelling" box checked,
https://familysearch.org/search/
(the largest free genealogy site in the English-speaking world) has just 37 records for it. By comparison they have over 150,000 for "Pack", which I know from personal experience is uncommon, and over 28,000,000 for "Smith". If you want to check, you'd have to register, but, again, it is free and they don't spam you.

All of them are in the USA, which suggests it was spelled differently in the old country. Which old country is anyone's guess. Mine would be England or Germany.

Answer 4

It suggests Germany or the Netherlands to me.

Answer 5

Maybe English, though I've never heard it before.

Answer 6

I'm a member of ancestry.com and even they don't know that.
