The history of the last name Crumel

The surname CRUMEL has its origins in the German language, with its earliest known records dating back to the 13th century. The name is believed to have derived from the Old High German word "krumil," which means "a small crooked or bent thing." This could be a reference to a physical characteristic or occupation of an ancestor who bore the name.

CRUMEL was initially found in the regions of Bavaria and Saxony, where it was commonly used as a descriptive surname to identify individuals by their physical traits or professions. The name may have been given to someone who worked as a baker or miller, as the term "krumil" also referred to a type of bread roll or pastry.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the surname CRUMEL can be found in the Würzburg City Archives, dated 1287, which lists a "Conradus Crumel" as a resident of the city. Another notable historical reference is from the Heidelberg University records of 1412, where a "Johannes Crumel" was enrolled as a student.

In the 15th century, the name CRUMEL appeared in various official documents and tax records across southern Germany, including the towns of Nuremberg, Augsburg, and Regensburg. During this period, the surname was also occasionally spelled as "Crummel" or "Cruemmel," reflecting regional variations in pronunciation and spelling conventions.
