Question:

Whats the meaning of surname Von prott?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: "Von" is German for "from." My guess is that this name was given to somebody who from from the town or city of Prott. Why don't you search for towns of this name in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, or other German-speaking countries and see what you find?

(Please note than "Van" means the same thing in Dutch.)
