This essential work with its more than a thousand maps and commentaries is the first to document the surname stock of the Federal Republic of Germany by statistical occurrence and geographical distribution. It meets the interests of linguists with a grammatical part (three volumes) dealing with the phonematics, graphematics, morphematics and syntagmatics of family names, while cultural historians and population historians are served with a lexical part (three volumes - surnames by place of origin and domicile, by occupation and by nicknames, by given names). The atlas provides a new basis for onomastics. It also presents an indispensable aid to other disciplines from social history through research into settlement and migration to genetics.

This work, containing more than a thousand maps and commentaries, is the first to document the surname stock of Germany by statistical occurrence and geographical distribution. There is a grammatical part dealing with the phonematics, graphematics, morphematics, and syntagmatics, while cultural historians are served with a lexical part (surnames by place of origin, by occupation, by nicknames, by given names).
With over 1,800 annotated maps, the Atlas of German Family Names draws together for the first time all of the family names that exist in the Federal Republic of Germany according to their statistical frequency and geographical distribution. The inclusion of a section on grammar addresses the needs of linguists, while a section on lexicology will be of particular use to cultural historians. Volume 4 provides the first systematic and comprehensive documentation of the spatial interconnections between toponymy and anthroponomy, using Germany as a paradigmatic subject of analysis.
With over 2,000 entries with commentaries, the Atlas of German Family Names provides access for the first time to the entire corpus of family names in Germany. The concerns of linguists are addressed in a section on grammar, those of cultural historians in a lexical section. With its collection of occupational names and nicknames, the newly designed Volume 5 will be an indispensable sourcebook for the history of language, society, and mentality.
With over 2,000 annotated maps, the Atlas of German Family Names (DFA) makes accessible for the first time Germany’s entire family name inventory according to statistical frequency and geographic dissemination. Linguistic considerations are examined in a section on grammar, while cultural historical aspects are illuminated in a lexical section. Volume 6 documents family names that are derived from given names.
