The surname of Eifert, Eiffert, Eyfert, is German in origin. It has in its modern context in the translation of zealot, (of the Greek: zelotes = the Eiferer, in Hebrew kanai) the biblical form, Pinhas the zealot. There is also an early Prussian translation that means "one who protects what is dear", and symbolized in art by a wall or castle engulfed in flames. * The probable origin of the word as a surname came during the Thirty Years War that arose as a part of the Protestant Reformation within the Holy Roman Empire. In the German development language, zealot is stated to be a synonym used for an "Eiferer" or fanatic. Specifically, the word likely originates in the "Synkretistischen" dispute, as a zealot in the context of German history during that time stands for the Orthodox Lutherans. * The Synkretistische dispute was a public argument between Lutheran clergyman and reform fanatics. The dispute ignited itself around George Calixtus (14. December 1586 in Medelby, Schleswig; † 19. March 1656 in Helmstedt) Beginning in 1609, he travelled for four years in Germany, Belgium, England, and France. He spent time learning different Protestant teachings and he tried to create a "unified theology" for the new Protestant faith. Appalled over the horrors of the Thirty-Years war, his concept sought to find a valid basis for all Christian denominations to find common ground in the Apostles' Creed that was a broad enough basis for Christian union and communion. He looked to the apostolic creed and the decisions of the church scholars of the first five centuries after the death of Jesus Christ as the basis for his concept. For this, he was accused of "syncretism for the ecumenical spirit" in which he looked to treat both Catholics and Calvinists as brothers in Christ. * Calixtus's was contrasted by Abraham Calovius (16. April 1612 in Mohrungen, Ostpreußen; † 25. February 1686 in Wittenberg) who opposed the Catholics, Calvinists, and Socinians, and in particular attacked the syncretism of his bitter enemy. While Calixtus affirmed that the Apostles' Creed was an adequate definition of faith, Calovius rather held that one must believe every part of revealed truth in order to gain salvation. This led Calovius to deny as a heresy the idea that Roman Catholics or Calvinists could be partakers of salvation. * Due to the continued rivalry between the Catholic Church and the elements within the forming Lutheran church, families in the newly determined Protestant duchies and Principalities often devoted their families by name, to their cause. Specifically in the case of the Eifert family in Saxony, the family had a multi-generational relationship with the Orthodox clergymen living in the Merseburg region. Johann Christophe Eifert, a free Jäger working for the famous German theologian Herr Carl Melchoir von Böse, introduced his son Karl Traugott Eifert into the clergy when he married Margarethe Eliz.
