Ehrlich Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(Ger.) Honourable [from O.H.Ger. êra, honour + the adj. suff. -lîch]
“Honest” in German. (Compare “Eerlik” in Afrikaans.)
(German) The honest man.
(from the name of a male ancestor) and (an invented surname) or (from a priestly or Levite lineage) Although the word means “honest” in German, it was adopted because of its phonetic value. Jews called Aaron selected this name because it was close enough to Aaron in sound and Germanic enough to pass the naming officials. Variations include Ehrman, Ehrenfreund, Ehrenpreis, Ehrenhaft, Ehrenfrucht, Ehrenstein, Ehrenberg, Ehrenhaus, Ehrenfeld, Ehrenfest, Ehrenfried, Ehrenkrantz, Ehrenreich, Ehrenteil, Ehrenthal, Ehrenzweig, Ehrenstamm, etc. As with all names referring to Aaron, the reference may be to an immediate ancestor or to the Biblical Aaron, thus indicating priestly lineage.
