Schroer

Schroer is a surname of German origin. In German, the name is commonly written with an umlaut as Schröer or Schröder, while Schroer and Schroeder are common Anglicized or umlaut-free variants used in non-German contexts.

The exact origin of Schroer is uncertain and may vary by family. Like many German surnames, it likely derives from a regional, occupational, or personal name that changed in spelling over the centuries. The form Schroer often reflects the umlauted Schröer, and the spelling Schröder with a different ending is sometimes considered a related variant.

Geographically, the surname is most common in Germany, particularly in western and central regions. It is also found among immigrant communities in the United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries with German diaspora, where the name has often been preserved in its Anglicized forms.

Notable bearers of the name Schroer have appeared in various fields, including academia, sports, and the arts. As with many surnames, individual family histories and genealogical records can vary, reflecting regional naming patterns and historical migration.
