Schulz

Schulz is a common German and Jewish-Ashkenazi family name from Germany, particularly Northern Germany. The word ''Schulz'' originates from the local official title of Schultheiß or ''Schulze'', meaning head of town/village (akin to today's office of mayor) or judge. The final "e" of Schulze was often dropped as early as the 15th century.

In East Central Germany and Silesia, the "u" was often replaced by "o"; see also Scholz and Scholtz. Provided by Wikipedia
