Is that Selke as in the seal-woman (commonly rendered selkie) of Celtic mythology?
Nope, it’s coincidence. My surname is German in origin, as it happens. (There’s a Selke tal,or valley, in the Harz mountains, Saxony-Anhalt, with an old narrow-gauge railroad, apparently.) The meaning is unknown. (By the way, if anyone out there has geneaological information they think might be relevant, my relatives would be grateful. Feel free to write me.
