The surname Pittner was an occupational name for a cooper or a barrel maker. The name was derived from the Old German word "bute," which means "cask."
The surname Pittner was first found in Bohemia, where the family came from humble beginnings but gained a significant reputation for its contribution to the emerging mediaeval society. It later became more prominent as many branches of the same house acquired distant estates and branches, some in foreign countries, always elevating their social status by their great contributions to society.
