The history of the last name Hoaglin

The surname HOAGLIN is believed to have originated in Germany during the medieval period. It is thought to be a locational name, derived from a place name that is now lost or obscured. Some linguists have suggested that the name may be related to the Old German word "hogan," which means "hill" or "mound."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the HOAGLIN surname appears in the Codex Diplomaticus, a collection of historical documents from the 9th to the 15th centuries. In this text, a person named "Hoaglin von Braunschweig" is mentioned in a document dated 1347, suggesting that the name was already established in the region of Brunswick (Braunschweig) by that time.

In the 16th century, the HOAGLIN name can be found in various church records and tax rolls in the German states of Bavaria and Saxony. For example, a certain "Hans Hoaglin" is listed in the parish records of the town of Nürnberg in 1562.

The earliest known ancestor of the HOAGLIN family is believed to be Johann Hoaglin, who was born around 1580 in the village of Ebermannstadt, near Bamberg, in the region of Franconia. His son, Michael Hoaglin (1612-1679), is recorded as a farmer and landowner in the same area.

One notable figure in the history of the HOAGLIN name is Johann Friedrich Hoaglin (1712-1778), who was a renowned clockmaker and inventor from the city of Augsburg. His intricate clocks and timepieces were highly prized throughout Europe during the 18th century.

Her collection of poems, "Blumen aus dem Garten der Poesie" (Flowers from the Garden of Poetry), was published in 1804 and became quite popular in literary circles of the time.

In the 19th century, the HOAGLIN name spread to other parts of Europe and beyond as some family members emigrated to new lands. For instance, Karl Hoaglin (1835-1912) was a successful businessman and entrepreneur who settled in Philadelphia, USA, after leaving his native Germany.
