Amazing where these things go sometimes, but in many cases there are simple reasons for things. Krieghoff- place of war-weapons manufacture, maybe somewhere way back these folks were called that because that's where they made that stuff. Possible not but that's too much of a coincidence. Another example is Herr Langenbach, the name means "long creek". Ref dialects, these can vary greatly from town to town, much less from state /region to region.
But then most names are just names. But if the Kreighoff family had made ox carts...........
