von
prep.
(German) from (used in names to indicate origin, nobility, or noble ancestry)
Von
Von (generally in small case only as von) is a
German preposition which approximately means of or from.When it is used as a part of a German
family name, it can indicate a member of the
nobility, like the
French and
Spanish "de". At certain times and places, it has been illegal for anyone who was not a member of the nobility to use von before their
family name. However, in the Middle Ages the "von" particle was still a common part of names and was widely used also by commoners, e.g. "Hans von Duisburg" meant Hans from [the city of]
Duisburg.
