Schulz
Schulz is a common German family name in Northern Germany. It is roughly equivalent to the English family name Constable; the German word Schulz originates from the local official known as Dorf-Schulz(e), a local law enforcement officer like a police officer or magistrate. Other spellings include: Schultz, Schulze, Schultheis, Schultze, Schulte, Schulten, Schulzke, Schultheiß, Schuldt, Šulc.
In Silesia, the "u" was often replaced by "o"; see also Scholz (including Scholtz).
