pulvers

Pulvers is a surname of likely Germanic origin. It is relatively rare and most commonly appears among individuals with ancestry from Central or Northern Europe, with subsequent emigrants in the Americas and elsewhere.

Etymology and variants are uncertain in the absence of conclusive sources. The name may derive from the German word Pulver, meaning powder, and could have originated as an occupational nickname for a powder-maker or related crafts. Variant spellings include Pulver.

In reference works, Pulvers is primarily encountered as a family name rather than as a distinct place, organization, or concept. No widely documented historical or cultural entity is named Pulvers. For those researching genealogy, surname dictionaries, civil records, and genealogical databases can provide guidance on origins, distribution, and family lines.
