The history of the last name Stottlemire

The surname Stottlemire has its origins in Germany, with the earliest known references dating back to the 16th century. It is believed to have derived from a combination of the German words "stottern," meaning "to stutter," and "mire," referring to a person who lived near a swamp or marshy area. This suggests that the name may have originally been a descriptive nickname for someone who lived in a swampy region and had a speech impediment.

In the 17th century, records show the name was commonly spelled as "Stottelmire" or "Stottelmeyer" in various regions of Germany. One of the earliest known bearers of the name was Hans Stottelmire, a farmer from the town of Aachen, who was born around 1620 and died in 1691.

As the name spread across Europe, it underwent various spelling variations, including "Stottlemyer," "Stottlemeyer," and "Stottlemeier." In the late 18th century, a branch of the Stottlemire family migrated to the United States, where the spelling eventually settled on the modern form, "Stottlemire."

One notable figure with this surname was Johann Stottlemeyer, a German philosopher and scholar born in 1735 in Heidelberg. He is known for his influential work on ethics and moral philosophy, and his treatise "On the Nature of Virtue" is considered a seminal text in the field.

Another historically significant individual was Maria Stottlemeier, a German artist and painter who lived in the early 19th century. Her intricate landscape paintings and portraits were highly regarded during her lifetime, and her works can be found in several renowned art galleries across Europe.

In the United States, one of the earliest recorded instances of the Stottlemire name was that of William Stottlemire, a farmer from Pennsylvania who fought in the American Revolutionary War. He was born in 1756 and died in 1832.

Later, in the mid-19th century, a prominent figure with this surname was John Stottlemire, a successful businessman and philanthropist from New York City. He made his fortune in the textile industry and was known for his generous donations to various educational and charitable organizations.
