German (mainly König) and Jewish (Ashkenazic; also König): from Middle High German künic, German König ‘king’, hence a German nickname for a servant or retainer of a king (for example, a farmer on a royal demesne), or alternatively a status name for the head of a craftmen's guild, or a society of sharpshooters or minstrels. As a Jewish surname, it is artificial, one of several such Ashkenazic names based on European titles of nobility or royalty. The surname Koenig is also found in France (Alsace and Lorraine) and Poland. In eastern Germany the surname König is in part a Germanized form (translation into German) of Sorbian Kral ‘king’. Similarly, in Czechia, Poland, Slovenia, and Croatia, it was often applied as a translation into German of Czech, Polish, Slovenian, and Croatian cognates Král (see Kral ), Król (see Krol ), and Kralj , respectively. Compare Konig .
