Where did the German Schnur family come from? What is the German Schnur family crest and coat of arms? When did the Schnur family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Schnur family history?
The Schnur surname may be derived from the German word "Schnur," meaning "string." It is supposed that the name was originally occupational for someone who either made string, or made objects using string. However, the name may also have derived from the German "schnurr," which means "funny," or "amusing," and in this case, would likely have been a nickname, which later became a surname.
