**Schultz** is a [German](/source/Germans) and [Dutch](/source/Dutch_people) surname derived from *[Schultheiß](/source/Schulthei%C3%9F)*, meaning village headman or constable/sheriff in the medieval sense (akin to today's office of [mayor](/source/Mayor)).

Adapted spellings in other languages include Shultz, [Šulc](/source/%C5%A0ulc) and Szulc.
