FAMILY NAME: NEVINGER - NABINGER – NOVINGER
Family surnames were first used about 800 years
ago in Europe and from 1200 to 1600 there was little or no
registration and archival of information on the names and lives of commoners. So it is a
challenge to determine the origin of our Family Name. The Novinger
spelling of our Family name, is documented in the United States from the early
1700’s. The Nabinger spelling is recorded from 1600Glen Novingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04452311290255933983noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920961308502309869.post-52595378030599527192015-03-18T13:15:00.000-05:002015-03-19T08:17:29.133-05:00TRANSLATE !!

Life during the 1600's, 1700's and 1800's was marginal and a challenge at best. Germans were seeking a better, more stable and secure life.

Since the earliest years of the known history of the Nabinger Family, about 1600, our Family history has been tied to that of an area known as the Palatinate in what is now central western Germany.
The Palatinate, also known as Rhenish Palatinate (German: Rheinpfalz), occupies more than a quarter of the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz).
