The name has been used by families in the Germanic area for at least a thousand years. The overlord ofGröna, for example, went by the name of Struz and used the image of an ostrich as his symbol. Examples of it could still be seen on the thousand-year-old church bell of that town.[2] "Struz" or "Strutz" is the North-German form of the word "Strauss", which is the modern German word forostrich.

Some of the earliest Jewish bearers of the name hailed from the Judengasse in medievalFrankfurt, where families have been known by the name of the houses they inhabited.[3] All the houses had names and these included Haus Strauß, complete with an image of an ostrich on the façade.[4]

When, for tax purposes,Napoleon made surnames obligatory in 1808, some more Jewish families decided to adopt the Straus(s) name.[5]
