I'm curious about the use of von or vom in the name. Rok's parents both use vom so I did the same. I thought it might have something to do with gender but apparently not since both his parents use vom. I know von means "of" and the translation of vom that I found off the internet is also "of" as in 15th of May. Any elightenment is appreciated.

im fairly certain that "von' refers to "of a certain lineage" whereas "vom" refers to an area of origin whether city country household, etc.. but i am only about 85% certain.

To my knowledge, von and vom are basicall the same. they mean family of....so Kaiser von Hoel is Kaiser from the family of Hoel in my case.
