The history of the last name Warmbrodt

The surname WARMBRODT has its origins in Germany, with records dating back to the 16th century. It is believed to be derived from the Old German words "warm," meaning warm or heat, and "brodt," meaning bread. This suggests the name may have originally referred to a baker or someone who worked with bread ovens.

The earliest known written record of the WARMBRODT surname is found in a church register from the town of Wittenberg in 1584, where a man named Hans WARMBRODT was listed as a resident. In the following centuries, the name spread to other regions of Germany, with slight variations in spelling such as WARMBROTH and WARMBROT.

One notable historical figure with the WARMBRODT surname was Johann Michael WARMBRODT, a German theologian and philosopher who lived from 1648 to 1717. He was a professor at the University of Rostock and wrote several influential works on metaphysics and natural philosophy.

Another WARMBRODT of note was Carl Friedrich WARMBRODT, a German engraver and illustrator who lived from 1786 to 1853. He is known for his intricate engravings of architectural subjects and landscapes, many of which can be found in museums and private collections throughout Europe.

In the 19th century, the WARMBRODT name began to appear in records from other parts of Europe as well, likely due to migration patterns. For example, a man named Anton WARMBRODT was born in 1832 in the town of Krakow, which was then part of the Austrian Empire (now in Poland).

One of the earliest recorded instances of the WARMBRODT surname in the United States comes from the 1850 census, which lists a family of WARMBRODTs living in Missouri. The head of the household was a man named Johann WARMBRODT, who was born in Germany around 1810.
