| The German family name, Bauerschmidt, is classified as being of occupational origin. With regard to the surname Bauerschmidt, it is derived from the Middle High German "bauer" meaning "villager" (later it denoted a "farmer") and the Germanic word "schmidt or schmied" which denotes a "smith". In 1516, Henrich Bauerschmidt is documented as living in Kronach. Notable bearers of this name include Tobias Bauerschmidt who was a noted doctor and who was born in 1568. This name was introduced to America as early as 1852, in which year we find a record of the emigration of one Stephan Bauerschmidt, a 24-year old farmer from Bavaria, who sailed to New York on board the "Sir Robert Peel". Information regarding this name would significantly help this research project. |
