Von in German means = From
Names with Von would discribe where they are from Oringinally
Der in German means = The
Names with The would discribe what they did Oringinally.
{Like Smith or Baker does in English}

"von" means "of" or "from"; "der" means "the".
There are many variants: in French, "d' " is used; in Spanish, "de la" is used. In Old English, "of the" was used, but the modern version was incorporated into the name.

German: from the. There probably is another name after that.
There are other names with German heritage that has meaning as well. Mueller is a Miller.
