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

The family name emerged in the old duchy of Saxony, which existed from the 9th to the 12th centuries. A common form of surname found in Lower Saxony are those that are derived from nicknames. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name. They usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name. The name lang is derived from the Old German word "lang," which means "long," and it was a nickname for a very tall person.
