Origin
Meaning and origin of Stallbaumer
The surname Stallbaumer has its origins in Germany, tracing back to the late 16th century. It is believed to have originated in the region of Bavaria, where it was likely derived from an occupational name referring to a stable keeper or groom. The name is a combination of the German words "stall," meaning stable, and "baumer," which translates to overseer or keeper.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the Stallbaumer name is found in the town records of Nuremberg, dating back to 1592, where a certain Hans Stallbaumer was listed as a resident. This suggests that the name was already established in the region by the late Renaissance period.
In the 17th century, several Stallbaumer families were documented in various parts of Bavaria, including the cities of Munich and Ingolstadt. During this time, the name also began to appear in church records and tax rolls, indicating its growing prevalence in the area.
Notably, a Johann Stallbaumer, born in 1642 in the village of Abensberg, near Regensburg, was recorded as a prominent horse breeder and stable owner. His descendants continued the family trade, and the Stallbaumer name became closely associated with the equine industry in that region.
In the late 18th century, a branch of the Stallbaumer family migrated to the United States, settling in Pennsylvania. One of the earliest recorded Stallbaumers in America was Jacob Stallbaumer, who was born in 1765 in Bavaria and immigrated to Philadelphia in 1792.
Other notable individuals bearing the Stallbaumer name include:
1. Heinrich Stallbaumer (1826-1901), a German politician and member of the Reichstag.
2. Emilie Stallbaumer (1874-1958), a German artist and painter known for her portraits and landscapes.
3. Theodor Stallbaumer (1890-1971), a German architect who designed several notable buildings in Munich.
4. Gerhard Stallbaumer (1918-2002), a German chemist and professor at the University of Göttingen.
5. Katharina Stallbaumer (born 1965), a German novelist and author of several acclaimed works of historical fiction.
While the Stallbaumer name has spread across various regions over the centuries, its roots can be traced back to the traditional stable keeping and horse breeding occupations in Bavaria, where it first emerged as a distinctive surname.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Stallbaumer surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
