Name Meaning
Some characteristic forenames: German Kurt, Manfred, Otto, Erwin, Inge, Gerda, Gerhard, Hannelore, Heinrich, Helmut, Wolfgang, Albrecht.
German: nickname for an awkward or belligerent person, from Middle High German strūz ‘quarrel, complaint’.
German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): from Middle High German strūze, German Strauss ‘ostrich’, hence a topographic or habitational name referring to a house distinguished by the sign of an ostrich, or (among the German nobility) a nickname for someone whose coat-of-arms featured an ostrich, or a nickname for someone thought to resemble the bird. In some cases the Jewish surname was artificial. This surname (in any of the possible senses; see also 1 above and 3 below) is also found in some other European countries, e.g. in France (Alsace and Lorraine), the Netherlands, Poland, and Czechia.
