SCHULZ Family History
This is a surname deriving from the Middle High German for ?headman? of the village/community; the root word is from ?sculd?, or ?debt?, from which the modern German word ?schuld?, with transferred meaning of debt in the sense of ?guilt?. The full word would be ?schultheize?; the person so named would be responsible for the collection of debts from those living on the local lord?s land. Variant spellings are: Schulze, Schultz, Schultze &cThe surname is also found in Scandinavia, and among German Jews (Ashkenazic), and it is possible that it was used as a sobriquet for ?rabbi?.
Frequently found in Prussia, the Brandenburg and Berlin areas, as well as in Niedersachsen, Hannover and Hamburg, as well as Nordrhein-Westfallen and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern &c. Schulz is the 9th most popular surname in Germany.
