The spelling of the name with only one f is closer to the old meaning and is more common in southern Germany. In eastern Germany, the name is even more common than in the south and north. In Silesia, for instance, Hoffmann was the fourth most common name (after Scholz, M\u00fcller, and Schmidt), while in the old federal states in 1977 it was the fifth most common name in both spellings (after M\u00fcller, Schmidt, Meyer, and Schneider) with 233,000 name bearers. Interestingly, in the West, the name Meyer (&#8222;Hausmeier&#8220;) has become established for the court administrator; which derives from the Latin term &#8218;maior domus&#8216;, the head of the household. This means that the same job title is derived from the Latin (Meyer in all spellings) in the west and from the Germanic language root (Hoffmann in all spellings) in the northeast [H. Bahlow, Deutsches Namenslexikon, 1988].<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8220;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8220;on&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8220;#c3c7d5&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_fullwidth_menu menu_id=&#8220;3&#8243; submenu_direction=&#8220;downwards&#8220; fullwidth_menu=&#8220;off&#8220; active_link_color=&#8220;#e2001a&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.16&#8243; menu_font=&#8220;Frutiger LT Standard|800||on|||||&#8220; menu_text_color=&#8220;#000000&#8243; menu_font_size=&#8220;20px&#8220; background_color=&#8220;#c3c7d5&#8243; text_orientation=&#8220;center&#8220; custom_padding=&#8220;27px|||&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][\/et_pb_fullwidth_menu][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Familienverband der Hoffmann aus Sangerhausen e.V.
