Ewald Family History
Ewald Name Meaning
North German: from a Germanic personal name composed of the
elements eo ‘law’, ‘custom’, ‘right’ (a rare element in
personal names, found mostly in Old Saxon) + wald ‘rule’. This
name was borne in the 7th century by two brothers (distinguished as
‘Ewald the White’ and ‘Ewald the Black’) who were missionaries in
North Germany. They became the patron saints of Cologne and
Westphalia, and so contributed to the popularity of the personal name
(and hence the eventual frequency of the surname) in these areas.
