Ziegner Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

I'm no name expert and there's so few Ziegners it is hard to clarify this. German surnames ending in -er for the most part link with surnames that come from professions. If you look at a very similar surname such as Ziegler we know it means brick layer or tiler derived from "Ziegel" which means brick/tile. A word that has a very similar relationship with Ziegner is "Ziegen" which means goat. The inference you could make is Ziegner means goat herder/breeder/farmer, more than likely. Nothing proven by historians, but the facts are pretty strong supporting it.
