Rhymes: -aŋkə Etymology: From the common noun skank (“leg, shank”), ultimately from Old Norse skankr (“leg, shank”). The surname was probably taken from the family's heraldic emblem, which depicts an armoured leg, and is therefore likely a heraldic surname based on the charge in the coat of arms. The family's earlier origin is uncertain, although it is traditionally associated with Jämtland. Compare Danish skank, Swedish skank, English shank and German Schenkel (“leg, shank”).
