Stearns Genealogy & History

Stearns is an English and German surname with quite disparate etymologies from those origins. In England, it comes from the Old English styrne, meaning strict, and likely denoting someone whose job it was to enforce discipline�or the complete opposite, judging from the medieval sense of humor. As a German name, it comes from stellae, meaning star, and described someone living at a house identified by a star or associated with it in some way. Stearns family history begins with Adolf Stellae of Koln in 1142. A few noteworthy members of Stearns genealogy are Bear Stearns co-founder Robert Stearns and American Samoa Governor Clark Stearns.
