Couldn't find the name as given but did find "NEUN". It means nine or nineth. Also found "HOFFER". It means manager of a cloister farm. So, perhaps the name means something like "Nineth Manager of the Cloister Farm". Or "Manager of the Nineth Cloister Farm". Or "Manager of the farm in the Nineth Cloister".
