Eckart is an old German surname. Originally, Eckart was a first name, for example spelt Ekkehard. It later also became a surname. The name comes from the Old High German and is derived from "Ecka", meaning "sword", and "harti" meaning "hard", but also "strong". The Eckart family has their own coat of arms. With regard to this coat of arms, one of the ancestors once said: "Those whose coat of arms is decorated with a heart shall remember their ancestors’ sincerity and loyalty and likewise strive for such virtues."
Many important documents and sources, which could have provided information about the Eckart family’s history, were destroyed during the Thirty Years’ War (1618 to 1648). However, pertinent material dating from 1648 onwards, with virtually no gaps in information, can be found in the national archives of Bavaria, the parish registers, the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg, the family archive of the Counts of Egloffstein etc.; this material makes it possible to reconstruct the family history.
The family’s earliest verifiable ancestor is Heinrich Eckart (around 1460 to 1516) from Eckenreuth near Betzenstein, Germany. He is considered to be generation –V in the Eckart’s genealogy. He is followed by his son Friedrich Eckart (around 1490 to 1540), whose son – also called Friedrich (around 1515 to 1561) – left Betzenstein and took residence on the nearby estate Hunger. Heinrich Eckart (around 1540 to 1569), the son of the latter, was the first Protestant member of the Eckart family. Wolff (1565 to 1632) was the first member of the Eckart family who worked in the food business – he was a baker. For a long time, his son Conz Eckart (1595 to 1634) had been the family’s earliest known forefather and is therefore considered to be generation I.

Johannes Eckart (1725 to 1790) from generation V is the most well-known Eckart of the 18th century.
