What is vom and von? I was told it means ( of ) for the kennel name?

That's what my translator once said.

I do believe "Vom" is "of" and Von is "from" or "by". I'm not sure, but I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, LOL.

From Bob-O in an earlier post:
"The German prepositions "vom", "von", "vom dem", "von der" "vom den" all mean the same thing, essentially the equivilent of the English words "from" and "from the". The difference in usage depends on the gender of the following noun that is part of the title (titled names, not Schutzhund titles) similar to what a member of the German aristocracy would have received in days long gone. You will also sometimes see the article "zum" which essentally means the same thing when used in this context." Bob-O
Many people who don't know German and want to make a German name for their kennel often use it, without knowing what it means........

Hodie, well said! I am German and I could not have explained it better.
by hodie on 28 February 2010 - 02:02
Bhall, the explanation above is from Bob-O, who is German. I started to explain it (I am not German but am fluent in the language) but remembered he had made a great post. People would do well to search first because questions like this have answers because the same question has been asked over and over.....
Tschüß!
Tschüß!

Thanks guys. My GSD'S are from German Kennels w/ copies of pink papers. The kennel names are part of the name and I was not sure why 1 name is von and 1 vom. Thank you all. Makes it more clear for me now.

I researched the bloodlines before getting my wonderful shepherds, but the names were already written in including the kennel names at the end. I am researching now. I do not however know how to work this site very well yet. I have always owned GSD dogs just not German breed. I will never go back to american though. Still Thanks for the help, and any more you may offer.
