Feyerabend
Feyerabend is a family name.
Origin
The name is first recorded in the 13th century mentions in southern Germany and Switzerland. The term " vir adventur " was first used in the Middle Ages as a nickname for a man who had been born on the eve of a holiday, and was inherited as such on its children.
Etymology
From the Latin word " feria " for a weekday or holy day, the Old High German " Fira " developed with the meaning hard or rest ( in Christian parlance, especially a day that was celebrated with an act of worship ).
From this it was Middle High German " Vire " for a festive day or committed the rest from work (from which the modern German term " celebration " developed ), which since the 12th century " Vir adventur 'marks the eve of a public holiday.
This term is then Frühneuhochdeutsch (after the 16th century ) reinterpreted under the influence of the language of craftsmen " ( the beginning of) the rest period in the evening ."
Spelling
Alone, from the 14th to 16th centuries various spellings of the name have been handed a document to the hundreds. Today's standard forms " Feierabend " ( about 2 /3 of the bearers of the name ) and " Feyerabend " ( almost 1 /3 of the bearer of the name in Germany ) have emerged only since the early modern period and were initially used interchangeably.
