The history of the last name Statt

The surname STATT is believed to have originated in Germany, with roots dating back to the 13th century. It is derived from the Old German word "stat," meaning "place" or "location." This suggests that the name may have initially been used to identify individuals by their place of residence or origin.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the STATT surname can be found in the Codex Diplomaticus Saxoniae Regiae, a collection of historical documents from Saxony, dated around 1270. The name is mentioned in reference to a landowner named Henricus Statt.

During the medieval period, the STATT name appeared in various records and manuscripts across German-speaking regions. For instance, a certain Johannes Statt was mentioned in a 14th-century chronicle from the city of Nuremberg, indicating the presence of the surname in that area.

The name STATT is also linked to several place names in Germany, such as Stattbach and Stattdorf, which may have influenced the development and spread of the surname. Additionally, variations in spelling, such as Statt, Statte, and Statt, were common during earlier periods.
