Bossert

Bossert is a surname of German origin. It is typically regarded as a Germanic family name that may be toponymic, derived from a place name, or possibly patronymic, though the precise etymology is not definitively established. Spelling variants have arisen over time in German-speaking regions and among emigrant communities, including Bossart and Boßert.

In modern usage, the surname is found in Germany and among the descendants of German and Central European emigrants in North America, South America, and elsewhere. Its presence in North America grew with large-scale German and Central European immigration in the 18th to early 20th centuries.

Notable bearers of the name have appeared across a range of fields, including government, academia, the arts, and business, reflecting the broad distribution of families bearing the surname today.

The name may appear without the diacritic as Bossert or with umlauts or ß in other orthographic traditions, illustrating common regional spelling differences.
