Sprüher

Sprüher is a German term that can refer to both a sprayer device and a surname. As a common noun, it denotes an agent or device that sprays liquids, derived from the verb sprühen (to spray) with the agent noun suffix -er. In everyday language, Sprüher can describe a person who sprays or disperses liquids, for example in agriculture, horticulture, cleaning, or painting, and it appears in various technical terms such as Drucksprüher (a pressure sprayer).

As a surname, Sprüher is found among German-speaking populations. It is an occupational or descriptive surname, historically given to someone associated with spraying work or with a device that sprays. The surname is relatively uncommon and is most frequently encountered in Germany and Austria; occurrences in other countries usually reflect migration.

Spelling variants exist in contexts without umlauts. In non-Umlaut writings, forms such as Spuehrer or Sprueher may be encountered, depending on transcription practices.

Notable individuals with the surname Sprüher are not widely documented in major reference works, but as with many surnames, bearers may be found in local or regional records, genealogical sources, or phonebooks.
