Etymology of SchosserWhat does the name Schosser mean? The surname Schosser may have originated with a nickname, derived from a physical characteristic or personal attribute of the initial bearer. In this case, the name Schosser comes from the Middle High German "Schoss" meaning "offspring," thus indicating a son or a daughter. The name may also be of occupational origin, from the trade or profession of the original bearer. In this instance, the name would be derived from the Middle High German "Schosser" meaning "tax assessor." Early Origins of the Schosser familyThe surname Schosser was first found in Bavaria, Austria, and Switzerland, where the name Schosser came from humble beginnings but gained a significant reputation for its contribution to the emerging mediaeval society.

Through the acquisition of these estates as well as their important contributions to society, the family successfully elevated their social status.
