The earliest known references to the UNTIEDT name can be traced back to the northern regions of Germany, particularly in areas such as Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg, and Pomerania. Some historians suggest that the name may have been initially used as a descriptive moniker for individuals born or living during a significant time period or notable event.

One notable individual was Johann UNTIEDT, a merchant and ship owner who lived from 1520 to 1589. His business dealings and maritime ventures likely contributed to the spread of the name across coastal regions.

By the 17th century, the UNTIEDT surname had also gained a foothold in parts of Prussia, with records indicating the presence of families in towns such as Königsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia). One notable figure from this era was Friedrich UNTIEDT (1650-1718), a Lutheran theologian and author who served as a pastor in several Prussian cities.

In the 18th century, the UNTIEDT name appeared in various German-speaking regions, including Saxony and Bavaria. One notable individual from this period was Johann Michael UNTIEDT (1723-1798), a renowned jurist and legal scholar who served as a professor at the University of Leipzig.

As the 19th century dawned, the UNTIEDT surname continued to spread across German territories, with families establishing roots in cities like Berlin, Hamburg, and Frankfurt.
