The history of the last name Vonner

The surname VONNER is believed to have originated in Germany during the medieval period. It is thought to be derived from the Old German word "von," meaning "from," and may have been used to identify someone as being from a particular place or region.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name VONNER can be found in a 14th-century manuscript from the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, where it is spelled "Vonnere." This suggests that the name may have originated in the area around Rothenburg, which is located in the modern-day state of Bavaria.

In the 15th century, the name appears in records from the city of Nuremberg, where a merchant named Hans VONNER is mentioned in a document dated 1457. This Hans VONNER may have been a descendant of the earlier VONNER family from Rothenburg.

The VONNER name can also be found in the historical records of the city of Augsburg, where a family with this surname lived in the 16th century. One notable member of this family was Johannes VONNER, a Lutheran theologian and reformer who was born in 1492 and died in 1557.

Another prominent individual with the VONNER surname was Heinrich VONNER, a German composer and organist who lived in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He was born in the town of Biberach an der Riss in 1573 and is known for his contributions to the development of the chorale prelude in Protestant church music.

In the 18th century, a family by the name of VONNER was recorded as living in the village of Niederwerrn in the region of Lower Franconia. One member of this family, Johann VONNER, was a farmer who lived from 1712 to 1783.
