The history of the last name Conderman

The surname Conderman is believed to have originated in Germany, with roots dating back to the 16th century. It is thought to be derived from the German words "Konder" or "Kunder," which were occupational surnames referring to traders or merchants who dealt with goods of value, such as furs or precious metals.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Conderman name can be found in the town records of Augsburg, Bavaria, from the year 1583, where a Johann Conderman is listed as a merchant dealing in furs and textiles. This suggests that the name may have initially referred to someone involved in the fur trade or a related industry.

In the 17th century, the Conderman name appears to have spread across various regions of Germany, with records showing individuals bearing this surname in cities like Hamburg, Cologne, and Dresden. It is possible that some Condermans were involved in the lucrative trade routes that crisscrossed Europe during this period.

One notable bearer of the Conderman name was Hans Conderman, a successful merchant who lived in Nuremberg in the late 16th century. He is mentioned in several historical documents as a prominent figure in the city's thriving textile industry.

Another interesting reference to the Conderman name can be found in the records of the German town of Regensburg from the early 18th century. Here, a family by the name of Conderman is listed as owning a successful fur trading business that operated for several generations.

In the 19th century, the Conderman surname began to appear in other parts of Europe, possibly due to migration and trade. For example, there are records of a family with the name Conderman settling in the Netherlands, where they continued to be involved in the mercantile industry.
