The history of the last name Neuroth

The surname NEUROTH has its origins in the German language and can be traced back to the late 15th century. It is believed to have originated in the southern region of Germany, particularly in the areas around Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. The name is derived from the Old German words "niuwe" meaning "new" and "roth" meaning "clearing," suggesting that it may have been given to someone who lived in a newly cleared area of land.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name NEUROTH can be found in a local parish register from the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, dated 1487. This entry mentions a certain Hans Neuroth, who was likely a farmer or landowner in the area. Another early reference to the name appears in the records of the city of Augsburg in 1522, where a merchant named Konrad Neuroth is listed as a member of the local guild.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the NEUROTH name began to spread across other parts of Germany, as well as neighboring regions like Switzerland and Austria. Historical records from this period show several notable individuals bearing the name, such as Johann Neuroth (1564-1621), a Lutheran theologian and author from Württemberg, and Anna Neuroth (1598-1672), a renowned midwife who practiced in the city of Nuremberg.

In the 18th century, the NEUROTH surname can be found in various church records and municipal documents across southern Germany. One notable figure from this time was Christoph Neuroth (1723-1797), a renowned clockmaker and inventor from the town of Schramberg in the Black Forest region. His intricate timepieces and mechanical devices were highly sought after by the wealthy elite of the time.

As the 19th century progressed, the NEUROTH name began to spread further afield, with some individuals emigrating to other parts of Europe and even to the Americas. One such individual was Friedrich Neuroth (1812-1884), a German-born artist and painter who settled in Philadelphia, United States, and became known for his landscapes and portraits of notable figures of the time.
