Explanation: Schrader is a family name very common roughly within the Triangle Hannover-Hamburg-Berlin within Germany (so-called "Eastfalia", part of todays states of Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt). Carriers of this name have spread all over the world due to emigration from Germany. It is especially common in the United States, but there are also occurrences in France, Britain, and the Netherlands.
