The history of the last name Bundrock

The surname BUNDROCK originated in Germany in the 16th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old German words "bund" meaning "bound" and "rock" meaning "coat" or "jacket." Together, the name may have referred to a person who wore a distinct type of bound or fitted coat or jacket.

The earliest recorded instances of the name appear in various German municipal records and church registers from the 1500s and 1600s. Variations in spelling included Bundrok, Bundroc, and Bundrock. Some examples of early bearers include Hans Bundrock (born c. 1560 in Heidelberg) and Katherina Bundrock (born c. 1588 in Frankfurt).

In the 17th century, the name BUNDROCK appeared in the records of several German-speaking regions, including Bavaria, Saxony, and Hesse. A notable figure was Johann Bundrock (1632-1692), a Lutheran minister and theologian from Nuremberg.

As the name spread across German lands, it became associated with certain place names and geographical features. For instance, the town of Bundorf in Thuringia may have influenced the spelling Bundorf as an alternate form of BUNDROCK.

By the 18th century, bearers of the BUNDROCK name had established themselves in various trades and professions. One example was Friedrich Bundrock (1720-1788), a successful merchant and landowner in Hannover. Another was Anna Maria Bundrock (1745-1822), a renowned midwife and herbalist in Cologne.

As Germans immigrated to other parts of Europe and the Americas in the 19th century, the BUNDROCK name traveled with them.
