The history of the last name Ohmart

The surname Ohmart has its roots in the Germanic regions of Europe, with the earliest recorded instances dating back to the 12th century. It is believed to have originated from a combination of the Old German words "oh" meaning "meadow" and "mart" meaning "border" or "boundary." This suggests that the name may have initially referred to someone who lived near or owned land bordering a meadow.

One of the earliest known bearers of the Ohmart name was a knight named Albrecht Ohmart, who was mentioned in the Codex Diplomaticus Saxoniae Regiae, a collection of historical documents from the 13th century. This record indicates that Albrecht Ohmart was a nobleman who held lands in the region now known as Saxony, Germany.

The Ohmart surname also appears in several other historical records from the late medieval period, including the Liber Censuum, a tax register compiled by the Holy Roman Empire in the 14th century. This document lists several individuals with the Ohmart surname residing in various towns and villages across what is now modern-day Germany and Austria.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, as people began to migrate more widely across Europe, the Ohmart name spread to other regions. One notable figure from this time was Johann Ohmart, a Protestant reformer and writer who was born in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1525 and died in 1599. Johann Ohmart's works included religious treatises and commentaries on the Bible.

In the 18th century, the Ohmart surname can be found in records from various parts of Central and Eastern Europe, including areas that are now part of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary. One prominent individual from this period was Karl Ohmart, a Bohemian composer and musician who lived from 1720 to 1792.

As the centuries progressed, the Ohmart name also made its way to other parts of the world, likely through emigration and exploration. In the 19th century, there are records of individuals with the Ohmart surname in North America, with some early settlers arriving in the United States and Canada from Germany and other parts of Europe.
