Emminger

The Noble Tribe of Emminger represented here by Lord Robert, Seneschal of Emminger. The ancestral home of the Hemmiger/Emminger family is in Austria, where the surname first emerged almost a millennium ago. The name Hemminger is a contraction of the German "Hammerschmied," meaning "blacksmith," and was most likely first borne by someone who held this occupation. Alternatively, the name may be derived from the place name "Hammel;" in this instance, the name would refer to someone hailing from the town of Hammel.
