Tõlkesene

Tõlkesene is a surname of Estonian origin. The name is derived from the Estonian word "tõlk," which means "translator." The suffix "-ene" is a diminutive or patronymic suffix, suggesting a connection to a translator, perhaps a son or a person associated with a translator.

Like many Estonian surnames, tõlkesene likely emerged during the period of name-giving in the 19th century, when Estonians were encouraged or compelled to adopt fixed surnames. Surnames were often based on occupations, personal characteristics, place names, or patronymics. In this case, the occupation of a translator directly led to the formation of the surname.

The surname is relatively uncommon, reflecting its specific occupational origin. Families bearing the tõlkesene surname are primarily found in Estonia. Variations in spelling are rare due to the standardization of names. Individuals with this surname have contributed to various fields in Estonia, as is typical of any surname within a national population.
