The history of the last name Ausband

The surname AUSBAND is believed to have originated in Germany, with roots dating back to the 16th century. It is thought to be a occupational name derived from the Old German word "ausbinden," which means "to untie" or "to unbind." This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who worked as a rope or knot maker.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name AUSBAND can be found in the village of Schönenberg, located in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. In the year 1583, a man named Hans Ausband was listed as a resident in the local tax records.

Another notable early reference to the name AUSBAND comes from the city of Nürnberg, located in the state of Bavaria, Germany. In the year 1612, a man named Johann Ausband was recorded as a member of the local guild of rope makers.

In the 17th century, the name AUSBAND began to spread beyond Germany, with some individuals bearing the name migrating to other parts of Europe and even to the Americas. One such example is Peter Ausband, who was born in the German town of Worms in 1643 and later immigrated to the British colony of Pennsylvania in 1683.

A notable figure with the surname AUSBAND was Johann Friedrich Ausband, a German theologian and philosopher who lived from 1718 to 1792. He was a professor at the University of Leipzig and published several works on religious and philosophical topics.

Another prominent individual with the AUSBAND surname was Wilhelm Ausband, a German military officer who served in the Prussian Army during the Napoleonic Wars. He was born in 1782 and fought in several major battles, including the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.

In the late 19th century, a family with the surname AUSBAND settled in the area around the village of Neunkirchen, located in the state of Saarland, Germany. This branch of the AUSBAND family produced several notable individuals, including Karl Ausband, who was a respected local banker and community leader in the early 20th century.

While the AUSBAND surname originated in Germany, it has since spread to other parts of the world, particularly through immigration and migration patterns.
