The history of the last name Lutgring

The surname LUTGRING has its origins in Germany, dating back to the medieval period. It is likely derived from the Old German word "lütten," which means "small" or "little," combined with the word "gring," meaning "circle" or "ring." This suggests that the name may have originally referred to someone who lived in a small village or settlement encircled by a wall or boundary.

The earliest recorded instances of the name LUTGRING can be traced to the 13th century in the region of Bavaria, where it was sometimes spelled as "Lütgering" or "Lüttgering." In the Codex Diplomaticus Saxoniae Regiae, a collection of historical documents from the region, there are mentions of individuals with the surname LUTGRING in connection with land transactions and legal disputes.

One notable figure bearing the LUTGRING name was Hans LUTGRING, a merchant and landowner who lived in the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the late 15th century. Records indicate that he was involved in the local wool trade and owned several properties within the town's walls.

In the 16th century, the name LUTGRING appeared in the records of the city of Nuremberg, where a family of artisans and craftsmen bearing the surname lived and worked. Johann LUTGRING, a skilled woodcarver, is mentioned in guild records from the mid-1500s, and his son, Andreas LUTGRING (1567-1632), became a renowned painter and engraver.

Another historical figure with the LUTGRING surname was Matthias LUTGRING (1624-1696), a Protestant theologian and author from the Palatinate region of Germany. He wrote several treatises on religious philosophy and served as a professor at the University of Heidelberg.
