Schulz

Schulz is a common German and Jewish-Ashkenazi family name from Germany, particularly Northern Germany. The word Schulz originates from the local official title of Schultheiß or (Dorf-)Schulz(e), meaning village headman or constable/sheriff in the medieval sense (akin to today's office of mayor).

In East Central Germany and Silesia, the "u" was often replaced by "o"; see also Scholz and Scholtz.
