Cognome

Eheim

Italiano  English  Español  Portugûes  Deutsch  Français

Ancient and very noble German family, known since the 15th century, which spread over the centuries in various European regions. Its exponents, wealthy textile merchants from Augsburg, were admitted among the patricians in 1538 and declared nobles in 1576. Other branches also flourished in Breslau (Silesia) and Heidelberg (Palatinate). The origin of this surname is to be found in a nickname based on the Middle High German term (Mittelhochdeutsch) "œheim, œheim" whose meaning is "male relative, confidant, honorable". Over time, this illustrious house was known both under the surname Eheim and Ehem but also Öheim. At this point it should be noted that the original form of the surname did not always remain intact over the centuries with its primitive spelling. Often due to incorrect transcriptions, dialect transformations according to the regions where the lineage was gradually brought, the incomprehensible writing of the scribes etc., there were modifications of phonetics
