Morgenthaler is a family name (or surname) from German speaking Europe.

Contents

Origin

The name Morgenthaler means person from the morning valley. It developed from the description of a person coming from a place called Morning Valley; in ancient German orthography Morgen Thal. The final syllable (or suffix) -er signifies geographical origin of a person (as in English New Yorker). The distribution of the name in Europe and around the world [1] leads to the conclusion of most probable origins of the name in Switzerland or in southern Germany.

Distribution

Mainly in Switzerland (with an amassment in two Cantons of Switzerland: Bern and Aargau) and in Germany (with an amassment along the southern Rhine valley). By immigration also in Austria, France, the USA and other countries.
