Last name origin & meaning: German: occupational name for a worker in iron, from Middle High
German īsen ‘iron’ (see Eisen) + houwære, a
derivative of houwen ‘to cut, chop, or hew’. As a vocabulary
word, this is found in west central (Palatine) Germany only; elsewhere
the standard term is Schmidt. In the United States, the
Eisenhauers (and bearers of the various Americanized forms of the
name) are found mainly in PA.
