Friends last name.
My friend Nicolette was wondering where her last name came from, and I told her I would post here.
LN is Rieder. I believe she is of Irish, German, and slight Native American descent. We also tried to research and something came up about it possibly being Greek.
Anyone have any information?

Rieder is a German name whose origin you'll find at http://www.ancestryfamilytree.org/facts/Rieder-name-meaning.ashx. However, in the US Rieder seems to be an alteration of Reider as you can see at http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?rank=0&xcb=x&tips=0&father=reider&given=&surname=rieder&mother=&stype=Exact&spouse=&byear=&brange=&bplace=&myear=&mrange=&mplace=&dyear=&drange=&dplace=&language=en&op=search&db=&ti=0&ti.si=0&gl=&gss=mp-awt&gst=&so=3.
