The meaning and origin of the last name Voegelin

The surname Voegelin is of German origin and is derived from the Middle High German word "vogel," meaning bird. It is believed to have originally been a nickname for someone who had a bird-like quality to their appearance or demeanor. Alternatively, it could also have been an occupational name for someone who worked with birds or perhaps even kept birds as pets. The addition of the suffix "-lin" is a diminutive form, which could indicate a smaller or younger bird. Over time, the surname likely evolved from Vogellin to Voegelin. Today, individuals with the surname Voegelin can be found primarily in German-speaking countries such as Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, as well as in other parts of the world where German immigrants have settled.
