Where did the German Jonker family come from? What is the German Jonker family crest and coat of arms? When did the Jonker family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Jonker family history?

The distinguished German surname Jonker is derived from the Middle High German word "juncherre," meaning "a young noble, not yet knighted." This term was often applied to a young man serving at court who would soon be knighted, and it is likely that the term evolved from nickname to surname, and was then passed down along a family line.

The young Jonker family was instrumental during this early period, playing an important role in the development of medieval society.
