Where did the German Deardorff family come from? What is the German Deardorff family crest and coat of arms? When did the Deardorff family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Deardorff family history?

The roots of the distinguished German surname Deardorff lie in the western region of the Rhineland. The name is derived from "Dierdorf," the name of a town located near Koblenz, which is itself derived from "tier," meaning "animal," and "dorf," meaning "village."

Spelling variations of this family name include: Dierdorf, Diersdorf, Dierdorff, Deardorff, Derdop, Tierdorf, Tiersdorf and many more.

First found in the Rhineland, where the town of Dierdorf is located. It was common during this period to refer to a new resident of a city by the name of his hometown; thus, it is likely that the original bearer of the name was a native of Dierdorf who had moved somewhere else. The young Deardorff family was instrumental during this early period, playing a major role in the development of medieval German society.
