What is the meaning of the word Von in a name?
Literally "von" means 'from' and usually it signified nobility, and should be spelled with a small v "von". In Germany, there is the distinction between historic nobility (historischer Adel), i.e. knighted by a king or the Emperor and the citizen nobility (Bürgeradel), which derived their von from the pure description of a place of origin, e.g. Klaus Schmied von Ehringen (Klaus the Smith from Ehringen). Historic nobility has the right to abreviate the von as v. (e.g. Lothar Freiherr v.Richthofen), whereas the citizen nobilty has to spell out the "von". In Switzerland, von is mostly a description of place of origin, as from 1191 onwards, there was noone who could elevate anyone on a rank of nobility. The few exceptions are immigrants or locals knighted by foreign powers outside the Swiss Federation (e.g. von Habsburg). In Austria, "von" can mean either a place of origin or nobility.
