The history of the last name VonAllmen

The surname VONALLMEN is of German origin, dating back to the late medieval period in the region that is now southern Germany and parts of Austria. It is believed to be derived from the Old High German words "von allen" meaning "from all" and "men" referring to people or men. This suggests that the name may have originally referred to someone who came from a diverse group or community of people.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in a 14th century manuscript from the town of Augsburg, which mentions a "Hans VONALLMEN" as a resident. This indicates that the name was already in use by that time in that area of Bavaria.

In the 15th century, there are records of a VONALLMEN family residing in the village of Oberammergau, known for its famous Passion Play. A certain Mathias VONALLMEN is listed as a woodcarver and set designer for the play's performances in the 1470s.

The name also appears in various church records and tax rolls from the 16th and 17th centuries in the regions of Swabia, Bavaria, and Tyrol. A notable figure was Johannes VONALLMEN (1529-1592), a respected scholar and theologian who taught at the University of Ingolstadt.

In the 18th century, the VONALLMEN name can be found in connection with several small towns and villages in the Black Forest region of Baden-Württemberg. One such place was the village of Allmendshofen, which may have influenced the spelling and pronunciation of the surname over time.

Another prominent individual was Friedrich VONALLMEN (1810-1876), a German-born artist and painter who emigrated to the United States in the mid-19th century and became known for his landscapes and scenes depicting life in the American West.
