Maurer Family History
Maurer Name Meaning
German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): occupational name for a builder of
walls of stone or brick, from an agent derivative of Middle High
German mure, German Mauer ‘wall’ (from Latin
murus ‘wall’, especially a city wall). In the Middle Ages the
majority of dwellings were built of wood (or lath and plaster), and
this term would have specifically denoted someone employed in building
defensive walls, castles, churches, and other public buildings.
