von Holtz Family History & Genealogy
Von Holtz Last Name History & Origin
AddHistory
The original name in "lower-German" (i.e. the language spoken in the lowlands of Germany, up north) for this particular family was "van deme Holte", or "vamme Holte". In proper German it became "vom Holtze", "von Holten" and ultimately "von Holtz". It should be noted that there are many other different, unrelated, families in Germany named "von Holtz". These families typically have a completely different coat of arms.
Name Origin
Holtz stands for "wood" or "forest". There are many places in Germany and the Netherlands called Holte, Holten, etc. The "von" is a prefix and just means "of" in English.
Spellings & Pronunciations
In the US the prefix "von" (which is German for "of") is capitalized, and the name then becomes "Von Holtz". Often it is concatenated to "Vanholtz". Rarely, the name is abbreviated to just "Von" (but this is obviously wrong, as there are many german families with the prefix "von" in front of their surname).
