The history of the last name Huser

The surname Huser has its origins in Germany, where it first emerged in the 14th century. It is believed to be derived from the Middle High German word "huser," which means "house dweller" or "tenant." This suggests that the name may have originally been used as a descriptive term for someone who lived in a rented or leased property.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Huser can be found in the Rottweil City Records, dated 1384, which mentions a certain "Hanns Huser." Another early reference is in the Kirchenrechnungen (Church Records) of Augsburg from 1412, where a "Cuncz Huser" is listed.

The Huser surname is also found in various historical documents from the 15th and 16th centuries, such as the tax records of the city of Ulm, where a "Jorg Huser" is mentioned in 1486. Additionally, the Spalter Chronik (Spalt Chronicle) from 1515 includes a reference to a "Hanns Huser."

Another important figure was Johann Huser, a German Baptist minister and author who lived from 1624 to 1684. He wrote several influential works on theology and Christian living, including "Das Geheimnis des Reichs Gottes" (The Mystery of the Kingdom of God).

In the 18th century, Johann Jakob Huser (1727-1804) was a Swiss mathematician and astronomer who made significant contributions to the study of celestial mechanics. He worked as a professor at the University of Basel and published several treatises on astronomy and mathematics.
