Family name origins & meanings

  • German (Hessen) : perhaps an altered form of Hunsrücker, a regional name for someone from the Hunsrück area, situated between the Rhine, Mosel, and Nahe. However, since the surname is now found chiefly in the Bad Wildungen–Edertal area, a different source may be involved.
