The surname Altemus is of German origin, derived from the Middle High German word "alt," meaning "old," and "emus," possibly linked to the Latin "emus," meaning "to be." It may have originally been a nickname for an elder or someone of seniority within a community. The name can also be associated with variations in spelling, reflecting regional dialects and the evolution of surnames over time. Altemus is less common today but can be found in various genealogical records, particularly among descendants of German immigrants.
