Lodner is a surname of German origin. It is believed to be derived from a personal name, possibly a shortened or altered form of names containing the element "Leut-" meaning "people" or "tribe." Another possible origin is topographic, describing someone who lived near a wetland or muddy area. The name is relatively uncommon. Genealogical records indicate its presence primarily in Germany and among German diaspora communities. Variations in spelling may include Lodnerer or Lottner.
