Where did the German Dreier family come from? What is the German Dreier family crest and coat of arms? When did the Dreier family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Dreier family history?
The distinguished surname Dreier is of German origin. The name is derived from the Old Germanic word "Dreier," literally meaning "a group of three," which generally referred to a local committee made up of three people which passed laws for the local townships; it is likely that the progenitor of the name was a member of such a group. Alternatively, the name may be derived from "Dreher," meaning "lathe-hand or turner"; in this instance, the name would have been originally borne by a practitioner of this profession.
