Luther Family Crest

Oct 6, 2008 by El Heraldo

Hello there, today’s first last name of today is the Luther Family Crest. I hope you enjoy it.

In mediaeval German “lud” meant “fame” and “liut” or “Leute” meant “people” or “folk;” while “her,” meant “army.” Thus “liut-her” meant “person in the army,” while “lud-her” would be a “famous soldier.”

Spelling variations of this family name include: Luther, Lutter, Luter, Lueder, Leuthiold, Luethold, Lutte and many more.

First found in Saxony, where the name emerged in mediaeval times as one of the notable families of the region.

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Caspar Luther, who came to America in 1720. Christian Luther came to Philadelphia in 1751; Ludwig Luther came in 1753; Engelbert Luther came to Texas in 1846.
