Where did the German Schumer family come from? What is the German Schumer family crest and coat of arms? When did the Schumer family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Schumer family history? The origin of the proud surname Schumer can be traced to the historic kingdom of Bohemia, which is now part of Czechoslovakia. In the Middle Ages, many of the Bohemian were a part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was characterized by the Feudal System. Before this era, people were known only by a single name. However, as the population increased and travelers set out on their journeys, it became necessary for people to adopt a second name to identify themselves. Many people, such as the Schumer family, adopted the name of their feudal occupation as their surname. However, an occupational name did not become a hereditary surname until the office or type of employment became hereditary. The surname Schumer was an occupational name for a cobbler. The name Schumer is derived from the Old German words "schuoch" and the suffix "mann," which means shoe maker.Spelling variations of this family name include: Schumann, Schuman, Schuhman, Schuhmann, Schuhermann, Schumacher, Shuhmacher, Schomann (northern Germany), Schomacher (northern Germany), Schomaker (northern Germany) and many more. First found in the eastern regions of Saxony and Bohemia, where the family was established in ancient times. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Schumer research.
