Jutz Coat of Arms / Jutz Family CrestThe surname of JUTZ was a Spanish official name meaning 'the judge' one who administered justice, a public officer appointed to hear and try cases in the court of justice. The name was originally derived from the Old French word juge'; it was also a nickname given to a solemn and authoritative person, one thought to behave like a judge. The name has numerous variant spellings which include JUGE, GIUDICE, IODICE, LOGIUDICE, LOIODICE, JUEZ, JUGET and JUGELET. In the 8th century, Spain fell under the control of the Moors, and this influence, which lasted into the 12th century, has also left its mark on Hispanic surnames.

As well as the names of the traditional major saints of the Christian Church, many of the most common Spanish surnames are derived from personal names of Germanic origin.

They grew fruit and vegetables in Victoria, and cut sugar cane in Queensland. Commerce flourished in the cities. Over the centuries, most people in Europe have accepted their surname as a fact of life, as irrevocable as an act of God. However much the individual may have liked or disliked the surname, they were stuck with it, and people rarely changed them by personal choice. A more common form of variation was in fact involuntary, when an official change was made, in other words, a clerical error |
