Mangold

Mangold (also Mangoldt, Mangolt) is a German surname, in origin from a given name. It was the name of a noble family of Weißenfels (Altenburger Land, Thuringia), named for one Manegoldus de Wizenfels (fl. 1260); branches of this family are extant, bearing the surnames von Mangoldt, Mangoldt-Gaudlitz (since 1888) or Mangoldt-Reiboldt (since 1878). The surname Mangold could arise independently as a patronymic based on the given name; it is currently most widespread in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Mangold also refers to several cultivars of beet plants (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris): In English it is a synonym of mangelwurzel (field beet), being also the German word for chard.
