Name Origin

Our Hollinger (Hullinger) Name, according to Genealogy Family Education.

http://genealogy.familyeducation.com/

South German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): habitational name for someone from places called Holling or Hollingen.

http://genealogy.familyeducation.com/surname-origin/hollinger?detoured=1

I have recently been in communication with Alois Ohrhallinger in Austria.  He has done considerable research on the name, and he believes that everyone with the Hallinger / Hollinger / Hullinger name originated in Austria. He could well be right since there are signficant concentrations of Hollinger's in Austria, and our Hullinger name came from Hollinger.  His writings in the blog below.

Hullinger / Hollinger J2a4h2

The table below results from a search in FamilyTreeDNA.com for the Hollinger name, which includes Hullinger and Holiger. The first seven Hollingers are closely related. The last three are not closely related.

Persons Closely related to Our Y J2a4h2 - Our Genetic "Cousins"

The information above is from a search for persons matching our Y Haplogroup of J2a4h2.  The right column shows the genetic distance, with 0 being the closest. Ten of the respondents above indicate that their oldest male ancestor is from Europe, while four say the middle east (two Syria, two Sephardic Jews), Thirteen don't know.

Out of Africa

The map above depicts human migration. Most scientists believe that Homo Sapiens originated in Africa, expanded into the middle east, and then around the world. Homo Sapiens immigrated into Europe about 40,000 years ago. Our haplogroup, J2a4h2, left the middle east much later for southern Europe. Our ancestor eventually reached County Aargau, Switzerland.

J-2 Originated in Mesopotamia

The map above shows the distribution of J2 in Europe and North Africa.

Haplogroup J (Y-DNA)

"J is a Middle Eastern haplogroup, divided into the northern J2 and the southern J1. J2 is by far the most common variety in Europe."

Haplogroup J2

"J2 originated in northern Mesopotamia, and spread westward to Anatolia and southern Europe, and eastward to Persia and India. J2 is related to the Ancient Etruscans, (Minoan) Greeks, southern Anatolians, Phoenicians, Assyrians and Babylonians."

"In Europe, J2 reaches its highest frequency in Greece (especially in Crete, Peloponese and Thrace), southern and central Italy, southern France, and southern Spain. The ancient Greeks and Phoenicians were the main driving forces behind the spread J2 around the western and southern Mediterranean."

"J2 is thought to have arrived in Greece from Anatolia in the early Neolithic, or possibly even earlier. J2b perhaps originated in Greece (or in Anatolia ?), like haplogroup E-V13 (see below) to which it is closely linked. The propagation of J2b and E-V13 (as well as a minority of T) follows the diffusion of agriculture across the Balkans, the Danube basin, and until the north of France to the west, and Moldova to the east. Apart from south-east Europe, J2b is also found all around India, but only at moderate levels in between Europe and India."

"The world's maximum concentrations of J2a is in Crete (32% of the population). The subclade J2a8 appears to be native to Crete. J2a also reaches high frequencies in Anatolia and the southern Caucasus. A likely place of origin is northern Mesopotamia."

"Interestingly, J2a* is found as far as India and is largely confined to the upper castes. The Brahmin (priest) caste is made up almost exclusively of haplogroups R1a1, R2, and J2a (although R1a1 makes up two thirds of the lineages). These 3 haplogroups have Bronze Age coalescence time and are thought to represent the gene flow of the Indo-Aryan invasion of the Indian subcontinent about 3,500 years ago."

Haplogroup J1

"J1 is a typically Semitic haplogroup, making up most of the population of the Arabian peninsula. Its highest density is observed in Yemen (72%), which could be its native place. The Muslim conquest of the Middle East, North Africa, and to a lower extent also to Sicily and southern Spain, spread J1 far beyond Arabia, creating a new Arabic world."

"A considerable part of Jewish people belong to J1 and J2, although J2 is more common. J1 is the Cohen Modal Haplotype, meaning that about three quarters of the people called Cohen, Kohen, or a variant belong to a specific J1 haplotype. In the Hebrew Bible the common ancestor of all Cohens is identified as Aaron, the brother of Moses."

Our Chromosome in Sumeria

The first farmers from Samarra migrated to Sumer, and built shrines and settlements at Eridu

"In spite of the importance of this region, genetic studies on the Sumerians are limited and generally restricted to analysis of classical markers due to Iraq's modern political instability. It has been found that Y-DNA Haplogroup J2 originated in Northern Mesopotamia.^[18][19] The Sumerians were a non-Semitic people, and spoke a "language isolate"; a number of linguists believed they could detect a substrate language beneath Sumerian. However, the archaeological record shows clear uninterrupted cultural continuity from the time of the Early Ubaid period (5300 – 4700 BC C-14) settlements in southern Mesopotamia. The Sumerian people who settled here farmed the lands in this region that were made fertile by silt deposited by the Tigrisand the Euphrates rivers."

J2a4h 445=10 Geographic distribution

Most distant ancestor locations for confirmed J2 cases carrying DYS 450=9 and 445=10, indicative of subclade L24, L25. Along with another few markers, these markers 450 and 445 distinguish L25 from most other J2a1's who carry 8 and 12 respectively at DYS 450 and 445.
