FAMILY ORIGINS
The Hoffmann family was Roman Catholic. The family resided in Salmbach, Bas Rhin, Alsace, France. Salmbach had a population of 1040 citizens in 1792 and its current population is under 500.
The surname Hoffmann is a status name for a steward on a farm or estate, from German hof(f) or "manorfarm" / "courtyard" + Mann or "man". Originally, this was a status name for a farmer who owned his own land as opposed to holding it by rent or feudal obligation, but the name soon came to denote the manager or steward of a manor farm, and became extremely frequent throughout central and eastern Europe.
The surname Weber is an occupational name for a weaver from the Middle High German weber or from weben or "to weave".
