About the Schrammel Surname

Some records give Schramm; others give Schrammel. Both point to the same German family name.

Schrammel carries the diminutive ending -el, so it began as a ‘little’ or affectionate form of Schramm. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Schrammel, so the heraldry linked to Schramm is a starting point, not an automatic right. Get the complete Schrammel report, with a museum-style coat of arms.
