Schroeder Origin and Meaning

The name Schroeder is a boy's name meaning "tailor; beer porter, wine porter".

Charles Schulz adopted Schroeder as a first name for his piano-playing character in the "Peanuts" comic strip. It's a popular German surname derived from Schröder, denoting a tailor or porter or wine or beer.

Schroeder is one-of-a-kind as a first name in the US — and Germany, for that matter — having never been used for more than five baby boys in a single year. Anecdotally, we have heard of a couple of baby boys with this name.
