Diether

Diether is a given name, most commonly a masculine name of German origin. It is derived from the Old High German elements "diot" meaning "people" or "nation" and "heri" meaning "army" or "warrior." Therefore, the name Diether can be interpreted to mean "warrior of the people" or "army of the people."

The name has been used historically throughout German-speaking regions and continues to be used, though less frequently, in modern times. Variations in spelling may occur.

As a surname, Diether is significantly rarer but likely shares the same etymological roots, potentially originating as a patronymic or occupational name.
