The ancestors of the Hoss family lived in those German speaking land of northern and central European. Their name comes from throughout the German territories, deriving from one of several places named Hausen. The surname Hoss was first found in Germany, where the name Hauser emerged in mediaeval times as one of the notable families of the region. From the 13th century the surname was identified with the great social and economic evolution which made this territory a landmark contributor to the development of the nation.
In the medieval era, many different cultural groups lived in the German states. There are thus many regional variations of German surnames from that era. Westphalians spoke Low German, which is similar to modern Dutch. Many German names carry suffixes that identify where they came from. Others have phrases attached that identify something about the original bearer. Other variations in German names resulted from the fact that medieval scribes worked without the aid of any spelling rules. The spelling variations of the name Hoss include Hauser, Hausser, Hauzer, Haueser, Howser, Howzer and many more.
