German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): agent derivative of Stein . It is both an occupational name for someone who worked with stone (a quarryman, stonecutter, or stonemason), and a topographic name for someone who lived on stony ground or near a prominent outcrop of rock. As a Jewish surname, it can also be artificial, distributed at random by Austrian clerks. This surname is also found elsewhere in Europe, e.g. in France (Alsace and Lorraine), Czechia, Croatia, and Slovenia (see also 4 below).
German: occupational name from Middle High German steinen ‘to set in precious stones, gems, boundary stones’ for a goldsmith, paver, or a land surveyor.
