The history of the last name Teverbaugh

The surname TEVERBAUGH is believed to have originated in Germany during the Middle Ages. It is thought to be derived from the Old German words "taver" meaning tavern or inn, and "baugh" meaning farm or enclosure. This suggests that the name may have referred to someone who owned or worked at a tavern or inn located on a farm or enclosed property.

In its earliest recorded forms, the name appeared as "Tafferbau" and "Tafferbaugh" in various medieval German records and documents from the 13th and 14th centuries. These early spellings indicate that the name likely evolved over time through variations in pronunciation and regional dialects.

One of the earliest known references to the name TEVERBAUGH can be found in the Codex Diplomaticus Saxoniae, a collection of Saxon charters and records from the Middle Ages. In this collection, a certain "Johannes Tafferbau" is mentioned as a landowner in the region of Saxony in the year 1287.

Another notable early bearer of the name was Heinrich Tafferbaugh, a merchant and trader who lived in the city of Nuremberg during the late 15th century. Records show that he was involved in the lucrative trade of spices and textiles between Germany and the Mediterranean region.

One notable figure from this time was Pieter Teverbaugh, a Dutch navigator and explorer who accompanied several expeditions to the East Indies in the early 1600s.

As the name continued to evolve and spread, it took on various spellings such as "Teverbach," "Teverburgh," and "Teverbeugh." In the late 17th century, a man named Johann Teverbeugh was recorded as a prominent clockmaker and watchmaker in the city of Augsburg, Germany.
