- Origins Available:
 Germany
The origin of the proud surname Schumacker can be traced to the historic kingdom of Bohemia, which is now part of Czechoslovakia. In the Middle Ages, many of the Bohemian were a part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was characterized by the Feudal System. Before this era, people were known only by a single name. However, as the population increased and travelers set out on their journeys, it became necessary for people to adopt a second name to identify themselves. Many people, such as the Schumacker family, adopted the name of their feudal occupation as their surname. However, an occupational name did not become a hereditary surname until the office or type of employment became hereditary. The surname Schumacker was an occupational name for a cobbler. The name Schumacker is derived from the Old German words "schuoch" and the suffix "mann," which means shoe maker. Early Origins of the Schumacker familyThe surname Schumacker was first found in the eastern regions of Saxony and Bohemia, where the family was established in ancient times.
