Hitler family be a spelling variation of the name "Hiedler", meaning one who resides by a "Hiedl" - in Austro-Bavarian dialects a term for a subterranean fountain or river. Or the "Hitler" surname may be based on "one who lives in a hut" (German "Hütte" for "hut"). The roots of the Hitler family tree go back to Stefan Hiedler (born 1672) and Agnes Capeller, whose grandson Martin Hiedler (17 November 1762 – 10 January 1829), married Anna Maria Göschl (23 August 1760 – 7 December 1854). This couple had at least three children, Lorenz (1800 - 1861), Johann Georg (baptised 28 February
German name or "-itsch" or Baltic "-kis" becoming "-ke"). Over time, the spelling often changed to reflect native German pronunciation ("Sloothaak" for the Dutch "Sloothaag"); but some names, such as those of French Huguenots settling in Prussia, retained their spelling but with the pronunciation that would come naturally to a German reading the name: "Marquard", pronounced in French, ended up being pronounced much like the German "Markwart" from which it was originally derived. Traditionally, the wife adopts her husband's "Nachname" on marriage and drops her own. However, due to the legal equality of sexes, the opposite is possible as well, though rare.
