Ohmbach

Ohmbach is a German surname. It originates as a topographical name derived from the combination of "Ohm," a regional river name (likely referring to the Ohm River in Hesse), and "Bach," the German word for stream or creek. Thus, the name likely denoted someone who lived near a stream or creek associated with the Ohm River or in a region generally known as Ohm.

The surname is relatively uncommon, and its distribution is primarily within Germany, though migration patterns have led to its presence in other countries as well.

Variations in spelling may exist, but are generally minor due to the phonetic nature of the name. Genealogical research can provide more specific information about individuals and families bearing the Ohmbach surname.
