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

The ancient and distinguished surname Littner is probably derived from a Slavic personal name such as "Litomir," "Litoslav," or "Litobor." These names are all derived from the Old Slavic "ljutu," meaning "wild" or "grim." Alternatively, the name may be derived from "Littau," the name of a town in Moravia. In this case, it is likely that the progenitor of the name was a native of Littau who had settled in another region.
