The history of the last name Endris

The surname Endris is of German origin, with roots tracing back to the 16th century. It is believed to have derived from the Germanic personal name "Enderis" or "Endres," which is a variant of the name Andreas, the Greek form of the name Andrew.

Endris was initially concentrated in the southern regions of Germany, particularly in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. The earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in parish records from these areas, with variants such as Enderis, Enderes, and Enderes appearing in documents from the late 1500s and early 1600s.

While there are no known references to the name Endris in major historical manuscripts or records like the Domesday Book, it is possible that some early bearers of the name were mentioned under alternative spellings or variants.

One of the earliest recorded individuals with the surname Endris was Hans Endris, a farmer who lived in the village of Oberndorf, near Bamberg, Bavaria, in the late 16th century. Another notable bearer of the name was Johann Endris, a master weaver from Rothenburg ob der Tauber, who was born in 1624 and is mentioned in guild records from the mid-17th century.

In the 18th century, the name Endris can be found in records from the town of Reutlingen in Baden-Württemberg, where a family of tanners and leatherworkers bearing the name resided. One member of this family, Friedrich Endris (1745-1822), is known to have been a respected craftsman and guild member.

As the name spread from its original heartlands in southern Germany, it also began to appear in other regions, such as Saxony and Thuringia. One notable bearer from this area was Johann Georg Endris (1757-1827), a Lutheran pastor and theologian from Erfurt, who published several religious works during his lifetime.

Another individual of note was Karl Endris (1818-1892), a German-American immigrant who settled in Ohio in the mid-19th century and became a successful farmer and landowner. His descendants continue to bear the Endris name in the United States to this day.
