Jones book it says "TTER" means "Dweller on the ETT (river)" or "Dweller in a wattled enclosure." I have had cnfirmed by three people fom Schweiz, Austria and Baden-Wurttemberg, that Etter means this. 1.) The word Etter comes from the Alemans. It was the name of the Bounds, Fences of her Village. The villages of the Alemans was enclosed by "Palisades" witch was called etter. Daniel Etter Schweiz 2.) "Ethymologisches W?rterbuch der deutschen familiennamen" = "Ethymological dictionary of german familynames". according to this book there are 2 possibilities. A: the name based on the old fences (as we already have discussed) B: the name based on the old alemannic word of Etter which means Kinsman. Alexander Lutz Austria 3.) ETTER: either is 1) Middle High German "?ter" = village fence, boundary; or 2) MHG "etter" = cousin. ETTERLI(N): Affectionate form for Etter = cousin. Etterli(n) was widely spread in the alemannic region (the -i is typically Swiss). In 1407 there is a Heinzmann ETTERLIN, Vogt (bailiff, administrator) at Istein (L?rrach, near the Swiss border), and in 1441 Anton => ?TTERLI (!), also spelt ETTER- LIN, town scribe in Schaffhausen (Switzerland).

Not even circumstantial evidence can be found for even an isolated appearance of Rempels in the low-German linguistic regions.(1) The generally-held view(2) is that the name Rempel derives from the Gothic "Raganbold/Ragenbald", but this view could be challenged(3). Regardless of the view one chooses, however, we are talking about an early Germanic name. This name (that is, Raganbold/Ragenbald) is one of those that identifies a lot of unrelated people, because it was a baptismal name, not meant for identification of separate persons, but for a whole group of people. The name Rempel, must also have been inherited, however, because after Raganbold/Ragenbald disappeared as a baptismal name, it suddenly reappeared in the 13th or 14th century as a first name. The only reasonable explanation for the survival of what earlier was a baptismal name, is that it not only became inherited, but became one of the characteristically assigned names for that generation(4). It is worth noting that Rempel is one of those unusual first names which has been consistently spelled(5).
