Altrich

Altrich is a surname of German origin. It is a relatively uncommon surname, and genealogical records suggest its presence primarily in regions historically associated with German-speaking populations. The precise etymology of the name is uncertain, but it likely derives from a combination of Old High German elements. Possible roots include elements related to "old" or "wise" combined with a given name or occupational designation ending in "-rich," a common suffix denoting "power" or "ruler." Further research into historical records and linguistic analysis would be necessary to determine the exact origin and meaning definitively. Variations in spelling may exist due to regional dialects and transcription practices over time.
