Best Answer

Pretty far back. Although fixed surnames only really became common in countries like Holland and Germany in the days of Napoleon - who ordered all citizens of the countries he ruled over to take one - the name cropped up earlier, and since the early middle ages in Germany. It usually indicated someone's location of origin, in this case often a village adjacent to a castle.
