Lesers

Lesers may refer to a German surname or to a form that appears in German grammar. The noun Leser means “reader,” and the form Lesers appears in the genitive construction des Lesers, meaning “of the reader.” Outside such grammatical contexts, Lesers is not used as a standalone noun in modern German, though it may appear in historical or linguistic texts.

As a surname, Lesers is of German origin. It likely derives from the occupation or nickname Leser, indicating someone known as a reader—perhaps a monk, scribe, librarian, or publisher. German occupational and nickname surnames commonly end in -er, and Lesers fits this pattern.

The surname is relatively rare and is most often found among people with German ancestry or in German-speaking regions. There are few widely documented notable individuals with this exact surname.

In general usage, Lesers remains uncommon in contemporary writing. Related terms include Leser (singular) and die Leser (the readers) as the standard plural form.
