Meyer (surname)
Meyer is an originally German, Dutch, and Jewish surname. With its numerous variants ( Myer, Meyr, Meier, Meijer, Mayer, Maier, Mayr, Mair, Miers, etc.), it is a common German surname. Its original meaning in Middle High German is from ''mei(g)er'', "manager (of a lord's country estate)", derived from Latin ''maior domus'', i.e. "headman of a household" (cf. mayor), later on also meaning "tenant" or "(free) farmer". It is therefore a rough equivalent of the English Steward, which has also been turned into surnames such as Stuart. This appellation was also frequently used to form longer, more specific surnames such as Bachmeier, Bergmair or Niedermeier. Some German Jews adopted ''Meyer'' or a variant thereof as a surname when they assimilated to German culture in the 18th century, as it is close to the Hebrew first name '' Me'ir'' (מֵאִיר), "shining, enlightened". Geographical distribution In 2014, the surname Meyer was most often found (by percentage of the p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
