Where did the German Slusher family come from? What is the German Slusher family crest and coat of arms? When did the Slusher family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Slusher family history? There are several possible derivations for the Slusher surname. In some instances, it is no doubt derived from the Old High German "sliozen" meaning "to lock" or "shut," and the name was occupational for a locksmith. Alternatively, the name is also thought to be derived from the Middle High German word "schloss" meaning "castle" or "fortress," and as a name probably described someone who lived in a castle or was employed there.Spelling variations of this family name include: Schlusser, Schlüsser, Shlusser, Slusher and others. First found in West Prussia and Pomerelia, where the name emerged in mediaeval times as one of the notable families in the western region. From the 13th century onwards the surname was identified with the great social and economic evolution which made this territory a landmark contributor to the development of the nation. Early records show a Chuonrad Rufus faber qui dicitur Slosser in 1290, in records relating to Basel; and he is recorded again in 1294 as Cuonrad dictus Slosser.
