About Liechtenstein names

Liechtenstein has about 40,000 people and eleven municipalities, and its old family names are closely tied to them. Citizenship is held through a municipality, so every village has its own long-established citizen families. Ospelt and Rheinberger are Vaduz names, Hilti, Wenaweser and Quaderer belong to Schaan, Kindle to Triesen, Vogt, Frick and Nipp to Balzers, Marxer to Mauren and Eschen, Näscher to Gamprin, Elkuch and Goop to Schellenberg and Gantner to Planken. Beck, Schädler and Sele point to Triesenberg, the mountain village settled by Walsers around 1300.

The surnames are German and keep their umlauts: Büchel, Nägele, Öhri, Tschütscher, Gstöhl. Some are found in more than one spelling, such as Öhri, Oehri and Oehry. Given names follow the Catholic, Alemannic tradition of the Rhine valley: Josef, Alois, Wendelin and Luzius for men, Maria, Theresia, Kreszentia and Ludwina for women, with short forms like Sepp, Toni, Resi and Vreni.

The list holds single family names, single given names, traditional and modern full names, double given names such as Franz Josef and Maria Theresia, and the hyphenated double surnames that many married people use, as in Ursula Marxer-Batliner. It keeps to the old citizen families and to German given names, and leaves out the surnames that arrived with newer residents.

How to choose Liechtenstein names

  • Let the surname carry the place. A character from Vaduz can be an Ospelt, one from Triesenberg a Beck or a Sele, one from Balzers a Vogt or a Nipp, and readers who know the country will place them at once.
  • Keep the umlauts in Büchel, Schädler and Näscher. Where they cannot be typed, write ue, ae and oe (Buechel, Schaedler, Naescher) and never drop the dots.
  • Match the given name to the generation. Wendelin, Meinrad, Kreszentia and Ludwina suit great-grandparents, Hansjörg, Marlies and Rosmarie their grandchildren, and Lukas, Elias, Lea and Leonie the youngest adults.
  • For a married character, try the hyphenated form with the married name first and the birth name second, as in Monika Büchel-Hasler or Renate Öhri-Hoop.
  • A handful of surnames covers a large share of the country, so two unrelated characters may both be called Marxer or Büchel. A short form such as Sepp, Noldi, Kathi or Vreni tells them apart.

Frequently asked questions

What are the most common surnames in Liechtenstein?

Büchel, Marxer, Frick, Hasler, Beck, Vogt, Ospelt, Kindle, Schädler and Öhri are generally counted among the most common family names of Liechtenstein citizens. All of them are in the list, along with less widespread names such as Bargetze, Schafhauser, Wenaweser and Elkuch.

Which Liechtenstein families belong to which village?

Old families hold citizenship of a particular municipality, so many names point to one place: Ospelt to Vaduz, Wenaweser to Schaan, Kindle to Triesen, Sele to Triesenberg, Nipp to Balzers, Gantner to Planken, Näscher to Gamprin and Elkuch to Schellenberg. Plenty of names are at home in two or three municipalities, which is why no entry in the list carries a village.

What given names are traditional in Liechtenstein?

For generations the stock was Catholic and German: Josef, Johann, Franz, Alois and Anton for men, Maria, Anna, Theresia, Katharina and Josefa for women, often in pairs. In the list they look like Franz Josef Büchel, Johann Baptist Marxer, Maria Theresia Gantner and Kreszentia Wohlwend. Younger people carry the same names as their neighbors in eastern Switzerland and western Austria, such as Lukas, Elias, Lea and Laura.

Are these the names of real people?

The family names and given names are all in use, and the full names are everyday combinations of them. In a country of about 40,000 people with a small stock of old families, many combinations will match a living person by chance. The list was drafted to leave out well-known public figures and the princely family, and it has not been compared with any register.
