The history of the last name Nuxoll

The surname Nuxoll is believed to have originated in Germany, likely in the late medieval period. It is thought to be derived from the German word "nuckel," which means "small hill" or "knoll." This suggests that the name may have originally referred to someone who lived near or on a small hill or knoll.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Nuxoll appears in the 16th century in the town of Wittenberg, where a certain Johann Nuxoll was mentioned in a local record from 1543. This suggests that the name had already been established in the region by that time.

In the 17th century, the Nuxoll name can be found in various records from the German states of Saxony and Thuringia, indicating that the name was likely concentrated in these areas during that time period. One notable individual from this era was Hans Nuxoll, a farmer from the village of Kleinschmalkalden, who was born in 1632 and lived until 1703.

As German immigration to North America increased in the 18th and 19th centuries, the Nuxoll name began to appear in records from the United States and Canada. One of the earliest known instances of the name in North America was Johann Nuxoll, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1751 from the Palatinate region of Germany.

Another notable figure was Friedrich Nuxoll, a German immigrant who settled in Missouri in the mid-19th century. He was born in 1824 in the village of Birkungen, Saxony, and later established a successful farming operation in the United States.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several individuals with the Nuxoll surname made their mark in various fields. For example, Albert Nuxoll (1856-1932) was a prominent banker and businessman in Wisconsin, while Heinrich Nuxoll (1879-1957) was a respected educator and school administrator in Iowa.

Overall, the surname Nuxoll has a rich history that can be traced back to its Germanic roots, where it likely originated as a descriptive name referring to a person's place of residence near a small hill or knoll. While the name may have been concentrated in certain regions of Germany in its early days, it eventually spread to other parts of the world through immigration, particularly to North America.
