His German surname was ''Hussgen'' (or ''Heussgen'', ''Huszgen''), which he etymologized to ''Hausschein'' ("house-shine") and graecized (as was the custom at the time) to Οἰκολαμπάδιος in all capital letters, without Greek diacritics, as may be seen in , quoting a verse of Johannes Rhellicanus. In modern times, his name has been published in lowercase using polytonic diacritics, viz. () in ''katharevousa'' publications associated with the Greek Orthodox Church, e.g.; otherwise, it is spelled Οικολαμπάδιος in Modern Greek, including at Greek Wikipedia.}}(''Oikolampádios'', from οἶκος ''oîkos'', "house," and λαμπάς ''lampás'', "torch, lamp", and -ιος, ''-ios'', "pertaining to"; this was then Latinised as ''Oecolampadius''). argues in favour of the long-standing suggestion that the name is simply derived from a dialectal form of ''Häuschen'', i.e. the diminutive of ''Haus'' "house".}} Provided by Wikipedia
