Re: Help! I need to know the menaing behind the surname of Bumeder
Hi Teresa,

surfing the web I found your message. Yes, I live in Bavaria, Germany.
As far as I know the surname "Bumeder" in fact consists of two parts. "bum" is supposed to be the old German name for "tree". "eder" is supposed to be the owner of an isolated farm somewhere out in the country. In contemporary German you still have the word "Einöde" having exactly the same meaning.

If you´re interested in more information about the whereabouts of the "Bumeders" just let me know.
