Trump is a surname of English and German origin:
- a German surname, possibly from a word for "drum". It is notable as the surname of Donald Trump[1] who was president of the United States from 2017 to 2021. It has an older presence in the United States via the 18th-century Amish migration from the Palatinate to Pennsylvania.
- an English surname derived from Old French trompeor "trumpeter" or "maker of trumpets" (modern surnames Trump and Trumper), recorded from the 1270s.[2]
The majority of people with the surname live in the United States (close to 5,000 individuals, approximately 900 of whom live in Pennsylvania); the surname does survive in both Germany and England, but is comparatively rare (fewer than 500 individuals in each country).
