The surname Isringhausen originated in Germany, likely in the late medieval period or around the 16th century. It is a locational surname, derived from a place name that may have been a small village or town. The name may have its roots in the Old German words "iser" meaning iron and "hausen" meaning house or settlement, suggesting it could have been a place known for iron production or ironworking.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Isringhausen appears in the historical records of the city of Münster in Westphalia, Germany, dating back to the mid-16th century. These records mention an individual named Hans Isringhausen, who was a merchant and member of the city's guild.

In the 17th century, the Isringhausen name can be found in various church records and tax rolls from the regions of Westphalia and Lower Saxony in northern Germany. Some notable individuals bearing this surname during this time period include Johann Isringhausen, a Lutheran pastor born in 1635 in the town of Osnabrück, and Anna Maria Isringhausen, a landowner from the village of Rheinen, born in 1675.
