If you are wanting to find your ancestry then stop word searching and start record searching of the individuals who just happen to use that surname, as the surname will tell you nothing at all about YOUR ancestry, it is just a word, taken by choice as a surname from the language heard, spoken or which influenced and that language could have been from any country

The language origin is Preußen, however it doesn't mean that is where your ancestors are from

No surnames have Nationalities, and means country of birth and /or where an individual person regardless of their surname is a citizen, so all surnames are words and come from language and the influence of languages, which are spoken/ heard in lots of countries beside the country that the language originally came from, so if you wish to know where your ancestors of that surname came from then you have to research the individual people and their written records back to their country of origin as a surname NEVER tells you

Tell the receptionist you don't know how to pronounce it, but it is spelled "NEIE" and you'd guess "Knee". She/he will pronounce it for you.
