Krobath Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

The surname Krobath comes from the Slavic word hrvat, which means 'one from Croatia'. The German version of this surname is Kroat(e). Through the 19th and the first half of the 20th century a lot of Slavic surnames were germanized in Austria either forcefully by the government or by the people themselves in a way of assimilation to sound more German and avoid discrimination. This is likely how Hrvat became Hrovat (Horvath) and subsequently Krobath.
