First found in Basel-Land, Switzerland, where the family's ancestral home is located. It was a common practice of the time to refer to a new resident of a city by the name of his hometown; thus, the progenitor of the name Hefelfinger was likely a native of Hafelfinger who had moved to another city. The earliest known records of the name have been traced back to Dietgen, Basel-Land, where the Hefelfinger family was working as potters. The young Hefelfinger family played a major role in the history of the region, and contributed greatly to the development of medieval Swiss society.
