The history of the last name Laubinger

The surname LAUBINGER is of German origin, with its earliest recorded instances dating back to the late 16th century in the region of Bavaria. The name is believed to be derived from the Old High German word "loub," meaning "foliage" or "leaves," combined with the German suffix "-inger," which denotes a place of origin or residence.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the LAUBINGER name can be found in the church records of the town of Rieden, Bavaria, in the year 1587. These records document the baptism of a child named Hans LAUBINGER, suggesting the family's presence in the area during that time period.

One notable example is Johann LAUBINGER, a farmer born in 1632 in the village of Rottenburg am Neckar, whose life and work are documented in local archives.

As the LAUBINGER family expanded and migrated throughout the centuries, variations in the spelling of the name emerged, including LAUBINGER, LAUBINGR, and LAUBINGGER. These variations were often influenced by regional dialects and the scribes who recorded the names in official documents.

The 19th century saw the LAUBINGER name spread beyond Germany, as several family members emigrated to other parts of Europe and even to the Americas.
