The Bernbaum Family Name

Bernbaum? Think of it as Birnbaum with a different pen. At root, the name means “Pear tree”.

• Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists.
• Related forms: Birenbaum.
• Bernbaum writes “e” in place of the “i” found in Birnbaum, a typical scribal difference.
