The history of the last name Stinnie

The surname STINNIE is believed to have originated in Germany during the medieval period. It is thought to be derived from the Old German word "stein," which means stone or rock. This suggests that the name may have initially been a descriptive nickname given to someone who lived near a prominent stone or rock formation.

The earliest recorded instances of the STINNIE surname can be traced back to the 13th century in various regions of what is now modern-day Germany. Some of the earliest known bearers of the name include Heinrich Steinnie, a landowner in the village of Wittenberg in 1268, and Konrad Steinnie, a merchant from the town of Augsburg who was mentioned in a trade record from 1294.

During the 14th and 15th centuries, the STINNIE name appeared in various forms, such as Steynnie, Steynne, and Steinnye, reflecting the regional variations in spelling and pronunciation at the time. One notable individual from this period was Hans Stynnie, a wealthy merchant from the city of Nuremberg, who lived from approximately 1425 to 1492.

As the centuries passed, the STINNIE name spread across different regions of Germany and eventually made its way to other parts of Europe. In the 17th century, a family by the name of Stinnie settled in the Netherlands, where they became prominent traders and businessmen. One member of this family, Pieter Stinnie, born in 1638, was a successful merchant and ship owner based in Amsterdam.

Another notable figure was Friedrich Stinnie, a German philosopher and writer who lived from 1720 to 1792. He is best known for his treatise on ethics and morality, titled "Die Grundlagen der Tugend" (The Foundations of Virtue), which was widely read and influenced intellectual circles of the time.

In the 19th century, the STINNIE name gained prominence in the field of architecture. Johann Stinnie, born in 1815 in Berlin, was a renowned architect who designed several iconic buildings in Germany, including the Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery) in Berlin, which opened in 1876.

While the STINNIE surname has its roots in Germany, it has since spread to various parts of the world through migration and assimilation. However, its origins can be traced back to the medieval period, where it likely began as a descriptive nickname before evolving into a hereditary surname.
