The history of the last name Bindl

The surname "BINDL" is of German origin, with roots dating back to the late medieval period in Central Europe. It is believed to have originated in the region of Bavaria, where it was initially spelled as "Bindel" or "Bindelein".

The name likely derives from the Old High German word "bindil", which referred to a bundle or a package. This suggests that the name may have been initially given to someone who worked as a bundler or packager, perhaps in the textile or trade industries.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name can be found in the Bavarian town records from the 15th century, where a "Hans Bindel" is listed as a resident in the year 1467. Another early reference is found in the chronicles of the city of Augsburg, where a "Georg Bindelein" is mentioned as a local merchant in the year 1511.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the name began to spread throughout the German-speaking regions of Europe, with various spelling variations emerging, such as "Bindl", "Bindlein", and "Bindler". Notable individuals bearing this surname during this time include Johannes Bindlein (1515-1588), a German theologian and reformer, and Hans Bindl (1563-1635), a renowned goldsmith and engraver from Nuremberg.

In the 18th century, the name continued to be prevalent in areas of modern-day Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. A notable figure from this period was Johann Jakob Bindl (1717-1788), a renowned clockmaker from the Black Forest region of Germany, whose intricate timepieces were highly sought after by European nobility.

As the 19th century dawned, the surname "BINDL" had become well-established across Central Europe, with several notable individuals bearing the name. These include Karl Bindl (1810-1892), an Austrian painter and lithographer, and Franz Xaver Bindl (1827-1899), a Bavarian politician and lawyer who served as a member of the Reichstag.
