The history of the last name Dulebohn

The surname DULEBOHN is of Germanic origin, traced back to the regions of modern-day Germany and Switzerland in the late medieval period. Its roots likely stem from a compound of old German words such as "dūl" meaning "hollow" and "bohn" meaning "bean," potentially referring to a geographical feature or occupation.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name appears in a 14th-century manuscript from the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, where a certain Hanns Dulebohn is mentioned as a local landowner. This suggests that the name had already been established in that region by that time.

In the 16th century, a prominent figure named Johann Dulebohn (1522-1592) was a noted theologian and professor at the University of Heidelberg. His writings and teachings contributed significantly to the development of Protestant thought during the Reformation era.

Another notable bearer of the name was Christoph Dulebohn (1676-1742), a master clockmaker from the Black Forest region of Germany. His intricate and ornate clocks were highly prized by nobility and wealthy patrons across Europe.

During the 18th century, the DULEBOHN name spread to other parts of Europe, including the Netherlands and Switzerland. In the latter, a family of bankers and merchants named Dulebohn rose to prominence in the city of Geneva, with Peter Dulebohn (1745-1819) serving as a respected member of the city council.

As the 19th century dawned, the DULEBOHN name began to appear in records of German immigrants to the United States. One of the earliest known arrivals was Jakob Dulebohn (1802-1879), who settled in Pennsylvania and established a successful farming community.

Throughout its history, the DULEBOHN surname has maintained a strong association with its Germanic roots, and its presence can be traced across various regions and professions, from academics and artisans to entrepreneurs and civic leaders.
