Reiter (surname)
Reiter is a German surname. The surname is relatively frequent in Germany, and in most cases is locational, derived from places called Reit or Reith (with an original meaning of "clearing"). A variant of the same name is Reuter. In some cases the name may also be occupational, derived from Reitherr, the office of treasurer in Upper German towns, or from makers of winnowing sieves (Reiter), or from the term Reiter "horseman, cavalryman, curassier".
