Re: Question regarding my last name
Germans spell it Thürheimer or Thuerheimer. If I search the web for that I see the name is still used in Germany. It means 'the man from Thuerheim' (It appears no town with that name currently exists). The Thuer element refers to the Thuringers, a tribe, and Heim may be translated as village.
