german surnames
German surnames are last names that can provide information about a person's family history, geographic origin, occupation, or physical characteristics. They are an important part of German identity and are often passed down through generations. German surnames are typically derived from the person's father's first name (such as Schmidt meaning "blacksmith"), a geographic location (such as Berliner meaning "someone from Berlin"), or an occupation (such as Müller meaning "miller").
