Sneyder Name History & Origins
Tailoring was a common urban trade in German- and Dutch-speaking Europe, and the occupational term for a tailor became a hereditary surname. German Schneider and Dutch Sneijder/Snijder belong to that group. When the name passed into English-speaking use, spellings were shortened and anglicized; Snyder became the usual American form. Sneyder is a less common spelling variant, with ey replacing y or ij. As a given name, it is a transferred use of the surname rather than a traditional Germanic personal name.
