| Variations
in Spelling: |
Schutrumpf |
No umlaut over first "u". John George S. stopped using the umlaut
after he moved to the U.S. |
|
Schütrumpf
|
With an umlaut over the first "u". The most common spelling. |
|
Schuetrumpf
|
With an "e" after the first "u". If you can't type an umlaut,
an "e" after the "u" (or other vowel) substitutes for the umlaut. |
|
Schüttrumpf
or
Schuettrumpf
|
Double "t". I assume this is an older spelling and that
the other variations lost a "t" at some point. Names usually (I think)
get shorter and simpler rather than the reverse. Also if the name is based
on "schütteln" or "schütten" (see definitions below) that would
explain double "t". |
| Changed Spellings: |
Schuetrum
|
|
|
Schuetrim
|
|
| I have seen a copy of an old S. document with the spelling
Schietrumpf.
A
typo maybe? There are Schietrumpf
names
listed in the German phone book. Could this be another variation?
In searching the internet I have run across some names that look so similar
that I think they could be mis-spellings or typos. |
