Haselhoff

Haselhoff is a surname of German origin. It is believed to be a topographic name, likely derived from the Old High German words "hasel" meaning "hazel" and "hoff" meaning "farm" or "enclosed space." Thus, the name may have originally denoted someone who lived near a hazel grove or a farm associated with hazelnuts. As with many surnames, variations in spelling may exist across different regions and over time.

The surname Haselhoff is found in German-speaking countries and among descendants of German emigrants. While not among the most common surnames, it is present in various genealogical records. Like other inherited surnames, its spread is a result of family migration and settlement patterns. Information regarding prominent individuals with the Haselhoff surname is not widely documented in general public records, suggesting it is not associated with a single, historically renowned figure. Its presence is more commonly noted within family histories and local archives.
