A Swiss Mennonite family name, one of the earliest records of this name occurs in 1548 when Johannes Bair wrote a letter to the brotherhood in Moravia. This letter is found in the Martyrs' Mirror. The name was also found in Bavaria and Franconia. One of the earliest Baer arrivals in America was Jacob who reached Philadelphia 30 September 1727. Samuel Bär was preacher in the Immelhausen, Palatinate, congregation ca. 1766; about the same time Hans Bär served as a preacher in the Bockschaft congregation. Henry Baer was ordained minister in 1771 in the Swamp congregation in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
