Theories to the familynames LOLL and LULL

Till now, there already is not a very old name Loll an unequivocal proof of the origin and the meaning the. The written name of a man is meant. As you spoke within the centuries last on the whole and as a person was called has to be investigated still more difficult. Only from two letters the name allows many speculations. An early brand for this surname is the emergence of the alphabet in Palestine at 1500 B.C From this the Greek and the Latin alphabet in which the letters "L" and "O" happen result. Even this one is written conceivable name in the respective language as a symbol or Hieroglyphe. The name Loll is not from a place of residence or from the origin of one of the ancestors like most surnames (particularly in Germanic) from the name of a profession. Gives Germanic origin both unite Greek/Roman and unite for the name. At the investigations there are several ways once by the meaning of the name by means of linguistics and with the second by the use and his changes in the respective language or the dialect to discover the origin (Prosopogrfie). The name has a connection to an adjective in Germanic. This adjective always has the same or a similar meaning in the different ages and in different languages.

With the romans the Gentilname or the epithet consists of the tribe Loll and the suffix ius or ianus. One finds "(H) lut" under Germanic forenames for loud or known. "(h)lut" is counted as one of the root of a word "people" cf. dtv atlas science of names of 1998 S.26) (with Max Gottschalk). There is two famous Lulls in the Middle Ages by which one can find very much out about the names Lull and Loll. the monk and later archbishop lived 710 - 786 of Mainz LUL. After he was canonized in 852 this one has taken place  "Loll's-Woche in Bad Hersfeld since this time every year in October. Frequent use of saint names already in the early one has Ma his for the distribution names worried. 1234-1315 lived Ramon Lull (Llull), the famous Catalan philosopher. He has written more than two hundred and fifty books. Ramon Lull lies buried by San Francisco in the church in Palma de Mallorca.  However, surnames have already earlier been derived from the word forms of the adjective, too.

The biggest population from the name Loll and Lull occurred in Pommern. Now the Pomeranian Lolls (after the 2. world war the totally Lolls and Lulls would driven out) are splintered over the whole country of Germany. In France their are Lolls since 1774. The roots are in the Alsace area. The oldest to me known person is Francois Joseph Loll from Niederbergheim France. More information about the Lolls in France and USA are in the „Lolls Book I,II,III and IV” written by (LOLL, William E.,Fullerton CA. in USA).

Loll und Lull

It is sure, that the familynames "Loll" and "Lull" have the same roots. There are four sources, independent from each, which say this. I personally know from alive Lolls in Dortmund, that their grandfather (through a hear mistake from the church clerk by writing the church record) he was called and written Lull than Loll. In the Pomeranian dialect always Loll will spoken as Lull. Today there are roundabout 3000 inhabitants in Germany with the familyname Loll or Lull. Further are there in the USA ca. 2000 and in France 1500 Lolls and Lulls. The emigrant to the USA comes from France, Pomerania, Poland and some from Denmark (Riebe). The people in the UK and Scotland are not collected.

Summary


The naming is part of the respective culture of her time. Here a cultural testimonial from the 4th century B.C. since the name Loll comes from one of the cultures of the Mediterranean of high standing (most names became the beginning of the roman empire, written for the lollii Greek also)
It is the statue of the goddess EIRENE of Kephisodotos from which the original at 375 B.C. has confessed on the Agora in Athens.

Only some which I want to mention here are the uniqueness and today the system with surnames and several Christian names the naming of the Roemer, the Tria nouns, in the Middle Ages. The name got along with the romans he came to Catalonia (Majorca) and to the Alsace from the Mediterranean to Britannia with the pilgrims from England to Rome and over the Jacobsweg to Santiago de Compostella in the early Middle Ages in the second century. He also has hiked of England and Scotland to Denmark and Pomeranians in the 16th century. Caused by wars and the religion fights in Britannia and the religious freedom at the Hohenzollern and in Pomeranians.
With the historians of the ancient history it is actually normal that the tradition is not complete. The miserable source situation does not allow a conclusive proof but research gives many notes for well-founded assumptions. The existence is also included the names Loll over three millennia.
