The text traces the German origin of the surname Wanamaker. It notes variations Wannemacher and Wannemaker, traces Occupational source to a bathmaker, and suggests the name developed centuries after English names. It cites scarce northern European records and links to German occupation origins.
The Wanamaker surname appears to derive from artisans who made bath tubs rather than from workers in public or medical bathhouses. The widespread use of the name in both the United States and Germany suggests independent adoption by unrelated families, unlikely if it referred to bathhouse employees.
