Etymology of ObermayerWhat does the name Obermayer mean? The German surname Obermayer is derived from the German words "ober," meaning "upper," or "above," and the word man. Early Origins of the Obermayer familyThe surname Obermayer was first found in East Prussia, where the name Oberer came from humble beginnings but gained a significant reputation for its contribution to the emerging mediaeval society.
