-s doesn't mean anything, if you look at surnames.

Girgenson-s
Anderson-s both obviously of Swedish descent meaning ''son of Girgens'' and probably
''son of Anders'' (distorted Andris??)

Rēdlihs is pretty much German Redlich, just like our racing driver Šlegelmilhs is Schlegelmilch...

and all the Russian surnames (Tribuncov-s, Pujac-s, Sirokov-s)... basically all surnames in Latvia must end with ''s'' (or a, e), if you were a foreigner and wanted Latvian passport, in the passport they'd write in your name and surname according to Latvian way (George Bush would be Džordžs Bušs, and Barack Obama would be lucky as only his name would be distorted, as his surname ends with -a, so he'd be Baraks Obama)

But if we continue about the meaning of surnames, the only one that actually means something from current team is ''Ķēniņš- King (old form)"

And what about Berzins?In english it would be something like birch-tree.
