The title "margrave" originated in the early Middle Ages as a noble rank for a military governor of a border region. The use of "Margrave" as a surname became more common around the 12th century, particularly in German-speaking regions, as noble families began to adopt titles as part of their names. Over time, it transitioned from a title of nobility to a hereditary surname for some families.
