THE MORGENROTH FAMILY
The origins of the surname Morgenroth, which also can be spelled Morganroth, is of the German hereditary surnames which first appeared in Germany in the twelfth century. It was frequently an occupational nickname for farmers and might also have been used to designate anyone who performed a particular task each day at dawn. The use of "morgenroth" in this geographical sense was a feature of the ancient pre-Christian culture of the Germanic tribes. Along similiar lines, there is a village called " Morgenroete" in the vicinity of the town of Zwickau, and it is likely that at least some bearers of the surname Morganroth are descended from residents of that settlement, or other settlements. The German archives contain reference to one Thidericus Morghenrod who was living in Hamburg in the year 1296. Arms were granted to the Morgen Family. .
