The roots of the distinguished German surname Bitz lie in the former duchy of Swabia. The name is of two possible origins; firstly, it is derived from "Bitz," the name of a settlement near the town of Balingen in Swabia. Alternatively, it is derived from the Middle High German "bizune," meaning "field enclosed by a fence." In this case, the progenitor of the name would have dwelled on or near such a piece of land.
