The history of the last name Shrauner

The surname Shrauner has its origins in the German language, with its earliest recorded use dating back to the late 16th century. The name is believed to have originated from the German word 'Schrauner', which referred to a person who made screws or other threaded devices. This occupation-based surname was likely first adopted by individuals or families involved in the metalworking trade.

One of the earliest known references to the Shrauner name can be found in the records of the town of Nuremberg, which was a center of metalworking and engineering during the Renaissance period. In a 1592 registry, a blacksmith named Hans Shrauner is listed as a resident of the city.

The Shrauner surname slowly spread across Germanic regions throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. It can be found in various historical documents and records from this time period, often with slight variations in spelling such as Schraußner, Schräuner, or Schreiner.

Notable individuals with the Shrauner surname include Johann Christoph Shrauner (1692-1767), a Lutheran theologian and author from Saxony, and Friedrich Wilhelm Shrauner (1782-1849), a Prussian military officer who served in the Napoleonic Wars.

In the 19th century, the name began to appear in other parts of Europe and even in North America as a result of German immigration. One prominent figure was Carl Shrauner (1815-1893), a German-American artist and engraver who settled in New York City and became known for his engravings of American landscapes and historical scenes.

Other individuals of note include Maximilian Shrauner (1856-1922), an Austrian architect who designed several notable buildings in Vienna, and Theodor Shrauner (1881-1945), a German-American businessman and philanthropist who established the Shrauner Foundation in Chicago.

Throughout its history, the Shrauner surname has maintained its connection to its German origins and the metalworking trade that gave rise to its creation, although its bearers have since branched out into various other professions and walks of life.
