The history of the last name Tiede

The surname TIEDE is believed to have originated in Germany, tracing its roots back to the Middle Ages. In the northern regions of Germany, particularly in Lower Saxony, the name TIEDE was likely derived from the Old German word "thidan," meaning "to thrive" or "to prosper." This connection suggests that the name may have originally been associated with individuals who were successful farmers or landowners.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name TIEDE can be found in the Bremisches Urkundenbuch, a collection of historical documents from the city of Bremen, dating back to the 14th century. In these records, the name appears as "Tyde" or "Tyden," which are believed to be earlier spellings of the modern TIEDE.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the name TIEDE began to spread across various parts of Germany, with notable individuals bearing this surname emerging in different regions. One such person was Johann Tiede, a prominent merchant and alderman in the city of Lübeck, who lived from 1582 to 1644.

As the German population migrated to various parts of the world, the surname TIEDE also traveled with them. In the 19th century, a notable figure with this name was August Tiede, a German-American engineer and inventor who lived from 1835 to 1906. He is credited with several important innovations in the field of steam engine design.

Another individual of historical significance bearing the name TIEDE was Hans Tiede, a German sculptor and painter who lived from 1899 to 1952. His works, which included sculptures and murals, can be found in various public buildings and churches throughout Germany.
