Etymology of Fleischhauer

What does the name Fleischhauer mean?

The ancient and distinguished German surname Fleischhauer is derived from the German word "fleisch," meaning "meat," and the suffix "mann," meaning "man"; thus, this name refers to a butcher.

Early Origins of the Fleischhauer family

The surname Fleischhauer was first found in Austria, where the Fleischmann family became noted for its many branches in the region, each house acquiring a status and influence which was envied by the princes of the region.
