Von Wolzogen
The term ''von'' () is used in German language surnames either as a nobiliary particle indicating a noble patrilineality, or as a simple Preposition and postposition, preposition used by commoners that means ''of'' or ''from''. Nobility directories like the ''Almanach de Gotha'' often abbreviate the noble term ''von'' to ''v.'' In medieval or early modern names, the ''von'' particle was at times added to commoners' names; thus, ''Hans von Duisburg'' meant "Hans from [the city of] Duisburg". This meaning is preserved in Swiss toponymic surnames and in the Dutch language, Dutch or Afrikaans ''Van (Dutch), van'', which is a cognate of ''von'' but does not indicate nobility. Usage Germany and Austria The abolition of the Monarchy, monarchies in Germany and Austria in 1919 meant that neither state has a privileged nobility, and both have exclusively republican governments. In Germany, this means that legally ''von'' simply became an ordinary part of the surnames of the people w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
