Meaning & History
In the case of the German painter Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528), this was a variant of the German surname Türer, a German translation of Hungarian Ajtósi, meaning "doormaker", to adapt to the local Nuremberg dialect. The name Ajtósi comes from Hungarian ajtó "door" and Türer comes from German Tür, also "door", so Türer is a German translation of Hungarian Ajtósi.
