- I do not have my German dictionary with me right now so I can not
- say for sure. In Swedish anyway, I would guess the name Sennerich would
- mean truly rich. Senner and Sennerin appear similar to the Swedish
- words meaning true or truth. German and Swedish often are almost the same
- or evoluted words from one or the other.
