Ströher

Ströher is a German surname. The umlaut over the o signals its origin in a German-speaking linguistic area, and the name is relatively uncommon. It appears in Germany and among German-speaking communities abroad, reflecting historical emigration and migration patterns in Europe and the Americas.

The precise etymology of Ströher is not definitively established. It is generally considered to be of toponymic or descriptive character, potentially connected to a geographical feature such as a stream or a landscape associated with barley or brushwood. Variants and transliterations used in historical records and in non-German contexts include Stroher and Stroeher (the umlaut rendered as oe), as well as other spelling changes that arose with standardization and migration.

In historical and contemporary records, people bearing the surname Ströher have appeared across German-speaking regions and in diaspora communities. They have been noted in local histories, civil registers, and professional contexts, spanning fields such as academia, business, and the arts. The name does not denote a single famous figure, organization, or place, but rather a family name carried by diverse individuals over time.

Ströher is distinct from similarly spelled names and should not be confused with Ströer, a separate surname and, in modern usage, the name of a different company.
