The history of the last name Anglemyer

The surname ANGLEMYER originated in Germany, likely in the late 16th or early 17th century. It is believed to be derived from the German words "Angeln" meaning "to fish" and "Meier" meaning "steward" or "manager." This suggests that the name may have initially referred to someone who managed or oversaw fishing activities, perhaps as a profession or position of authority.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the ANGLEMYER name can be found in a German parish record from the town of Überlingen, located near the Swiss border, dating back to the late 1600s. This record mentions an individual named Hans ANGLEMYER, who was born in 1673. It is possible that the name originated in this region or nearby areas.

In the 18th century, the ANGLEMYER surname appears to have spread to other parts of Germany, as well as neighboring countries like Switzerland and Austria. Records from this period show variations in the spelling, such as ANGELMAYER, ANGLEMAIR, and ANGLEMEYER, which further supports the theory of its Germanic origins.

A notable figure bearing the ANGLEMYER name was Johann Friedrich ANGLEMYER, a German theologian and scholar who lived from 1712 to 1782. He was known for his work on the history of the Reformation and served as a professor at the University of Tübingen.

Another individual of historical significance was Katharina ANGLEMYER, born in 1795 in the town of Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany. She was a prominent figure in the local textile industry and is credited with introducing innovative weaving techniques that helped to improve the quality and efficiency of textile production in the region.

In the 19th century, the ANGLEMYER name began to appear in records from other parts of Europe, including France and England, likely as a result of migration and immigration patterns. One notable example is Charles ANGLEMYER, a French artist and painter who was born in 1825 and is known for his landscapes and portraits.

As the ANGLEMYER family spread across Europe and beyond, the name continued to evolve and adapt to various linguistic and cultural influences. However, its German roots and associations with fishing and stewardship have remained an integral part of its historical significance.
