German Surname
Personal names in German-speaking Europe consist of one or several given names (''Vorname'', plural ''Vornamen'') and a surname (''Nachname, Familienname''). The ''Vorname'' is usually gender-specific. A name is usually cited in the " Western order" of "given name, surname", unless it occurs in an alphabetized list of surnames, e.g. " Bach, Johann Sebastian". In this, the German conventions parallel the naming conventions in most of Western and Central Europe, including English, Dutch, Italian, and French. There are some vestiges of a patronymic system as they survive in parts of Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, but these do not form part of the official name. Women traditionally adopted their husband's name upon marriage and would occasionally retain their maiden name by hyphenation, in a so-called '' Doppelname'', e.g. "Else Lasker-Schüler".

Aach (toponymy)
''Aach'' (variants ''Ach'', ''Ache''; ''Aa'') is a widespread Upper German hydronym, from an Old High German ''aha'' (Proto-Germanic '' *ahwō'') "running water" (ultimately from PIE '' *hakʷā-'' "(moving) water"). The word has also been reduced to a frequent suffix ''-ach'' in Alemannic and Austro-Bavarian toponymy. The word is cognate with Old English '' ǣ'' (reflected in English placenames as ''-ea'', also Yeo, Eau), Old Frisian ''ē'', Old Saxon ''aha'', Low Franconian '' Aa'', Old Norse ''á'', Gothic ''aƕa'', all meaning "river; running water". The Old High German contraction from ''-aha'' to ''-aa'', ''-â'' in compound hydronyms present from an early time (early 9th century). The simplex noun ''aha'' remained uncontracted, however, and Old High German ''-aha'' (Modern German ''-ach'') could be restituted in compounds at any time.''super fluuiolo Geazaha'' a. 782; ''inter Uuiseraa et Fuldaa'' a. 813; ''in pago Uuestracha'' a. 839.
