Spruce Family History
Spruce Name Meaning
English: ethnic name for someone from Prussia, Middle English
Spruce, Sprewse. Compare German Preuss. The
adjective spruce ‘neat’, ‘dapper’, which probably derives from
an attributive use of the name of the country, is not recorded until
the late 16th century, too late for it to be a likely source of the
surname. The tree (earlier called spruce fir) has likewise only
come to be known by this name in the last couple of centuries.
