Ungar Name Meaning, Origin and Heraldry

Behind the Ungar surname stands Unger, a German name that clerks and families wrote in more than one way.

Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. Ungar is listed among the recognised spellings of Unger.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Ungar, so the heraldry linked to Unger is a starting point, not an automatic right. Want more than a summary? See the Ungar family name pack.
