The Kaiser Family
Name Origin: Germany
In the medieval era, many different cultural groups lived in the German states. There are thus many regional variations of German surnames from that era. Some groups spoke Low German, which is similar to modern Dutch. Many German names carry suffixes that identify where they came from. Others have phrases attached that identify something about the original bearer. Other variations in German names resulted from the fact that medieval scribes worked without the aid of any spelling rules. The spelling variations of the name Kaiser include Kaiser, Kaisser, Kaizer, Kayser, Kaysser, Kayzer, Keiser, Keyser, Keisser, Keizer, Kaisling, Kaissling, Keyserling and many more.
First found in Austria, where the name closely identified in early medieval times with the feudal society that was prominent throughout European history.
