Hendler History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

• Origins Available:
• Germany

German surnames developed at a time when most of the German provinces were states of the Holy Roman Empire. At first people used only a single name, but as the population grew and people began to travel, they began to find it necessary to take on an additional name to differentiate themselves. Fairly general principles guided the development of hereditary surnames in Germany. Two of the common types of family names found in Germany are patronymic surnames, which are derived from the father's given name, and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the mother's given name. The surname Hendler derived from a number of Germanic personal names, such as Heinrich, Hantbert, Hantwin and Handolf.
