Roehrig Family History

German (Röhrig) is a topographic name derived from the Middle High German terms rōrach and rœrach, which mean ‘reed bed’. It may also serve as a habitational name associated with any of the four locations that carry this name.

Additionally, Röhrig has roots in an ancient Germanic personal name, Hrodric, which is composed of two elements: hrōd, meaning ‘fame’ or ‘renown’, and rīc, meaning ‘powerful’.

This name reflects significant aspects of the cultural and geographic history of the German language and its evolution over time.

Names such as Rarey, Rohrig, and Rohrich demonstrate the variations and adaptations of the original name across different regions and contexts.
