Want to give an ambiguous character that extra bit of onomastic intrigue? Tack a "Von" on to their last name.
Technically, von is merely a German preposition which approximately means of or from which appears mostly in names of families that belong (or once belonged) to the nobility. To set themselves off from commoners with "von" in their names, German-speaking noble persons sometimes prefer the abbreviation "v.". The nobility was abolished as a privileged estate in 1918, since then "von" and titles of nobility like "Graf" (count) or "Ritter" (knight) are treated as mere parts of the name. Note that in German, von is not capitalized unless it's the first word of a sentence; a permanently capitalized "Von" is mostly English usage. Before the 20th century, it was quite common to translate "von" as "de" in French texts and German-speaking diplomats would sign that way under treaties (which explains why even today it's not uncommon to see Germanic names preceded by that particular Latin preposition).
Some German-speaking noble families have more elaborate particles before their name such as "von dem" (shortened form: "vom") or "von der" (both mean "of the"), others have "zu" or "zum" (roughly "at", which usually indicates the actual or former place of residence), some have "vom und zum". There are also both noble families which have "SURNAME von OTHER NAME" or "SURNAME zu PLACE NAME" (as usual, there are exceptions, such as names of the pattern "Meyer zu PLACE NAME" and e. g. the poet August Hoffmann von Fallersleben, who added "von Fallersleben" after his birthplace to distinguish himself from other writers called Hoffmann). And there are ones that combine "von" with "nobility indicators" from other languages such as with many surnames containing the slavic suffix "-ski" or "-sky" or Franco-German combinations as the noble Huguenot family von Arnauld de la Perière.
At its most basic level, "von" merely exists as a marker of Germanic origin, high origin or both. However, character namers have seen fit to use the syllable to make two main branches of the Von Trope Family tree.
Darker Von Trope: Often the Von implies sternness, skill at intrigue, power, autocracy, villainy, sadism or any of the other tropes that Those Wacky Nazi Noblemen tend to inspire — ironically, as the old nobility largely despised the Nazis as parvenus. Less dark variations may include the particularly Gothic or the militaristic badass, especially those that are a riff on Otto von Bismarck (a classic Magnificent Bastard) or Baron Manfred von Richthofen, The Red Baron. Sometimes the characters with the name do not have a Germanic origin at all.
Lighter Von Trope: It is also used as more of a Stock Foreign Name for a Germanic Funny Foreigner (especially Herr Doktor), or for goofy characters for whom the aristocratic bearing of the name seems incongruous.
Naturally, there may be crossover between these two subsets.
When the character just happens to have that as part of their family name, with no particular cultural significance meant to be attached (though in countries with a long history of democracy, the elitist overtones of the prefix often cause it to be dropped), it's not this trope or any other one.
The Dutch equivalent, "van", may be used to imply the same categories, though "van" is a lot more, well, common (in both senses: "frequent" and "having ancestors who were commoners rather than nobility"). In America, a Dutch Preppy Name is often a better shorthand to signify old money and "WASPiness" than an actual Anglo-Saxon one would be.
A common misconception is that "von" should be pronounced with a voiced labiodental fricative, the usual sound of V in English. But the V is in most cases pronounced as a voiceless labiodental fricative in German, which is usually spelt F in English, so it is actually pronounced "fon".
The trope name is a pun on the von Trapp family, of The Sound of Music fame.
Can overlap with "Darkness von Gothick" Name.

Despite Shadow Magic being universally considered dark and corrupting, Velma is very much a Nice Girl who embodies Bad Powers, Good People and deserves to be in the Lighter Von Trope section.

Gaia Online's Von Helson family, an aristocratic family that happens to consist entirely of vampires. Vladmir (and later Zhivago) are both major antagonists throughout the storyline. The Von Helson were also villainous for a while, but have undergone some Villain Decay in recent years (lampshaded in a recent mini comic). Ian and Louie are subversions. Ian is a lovable goofball who runs a costume shop with his talking cat, and Louie is a nice guy who just happens to be King of the Vampires, hates his dad, and works at the local Formalwear shop.

Looney Tunes cartoons:
On two separate occasions, Bugs Bunny is pitted against Yosemite Sam, who is an ally in an enemy cause, in which the latter is a German with the word "von" in his name, both of which sound fairly close to each other.
In Bunker Hill Bunny, set during The American Revolution, Sam plays a Hessian (a German allied with the British) named Sam von Schmamm.
In Dumb Patrol, set during World War I, Sam plays a German pilot named Baron Sam von Schpamm. It should be noted that Sam doesn't speak with a German accent, but just in his regular "cowboy" tone. The closest he comes are words like "dummkopf" and "schweinhund", and even then he mispronounces them. He also rants in gibberish that merely sounds like German when his initial attempt to stop Bugs in his plane results in him crashing into a mountain.
Much earlier, there is also Von Vultur, the main antagonist in Daffy the Commando.

Most of his tasks are for his own personal gain or amusement. Also, that inverted Sesquipedalian Smith name, isn't even his real name. His real name is so long that you'd starve to death before you finished saying it.

Ludwig Von Drake, Donald Duck's uncle, and a goofy Mad Scientist. In German he becomes Primus von Quack.
Scrooge McDuck is known in Danish as Joakim von And and in Swedish as Joakim von Anka, both meaning Joakim von Duck. We guess the translators weren't fluent in German, because it means that he is a duck from Duck. Hm... but then, "McDuck" would mean "son of Duck", so his original name isn't that much better.

In Boonie Bears, Vick's full name in English is Victor von Finkelstein. Considering "von" is used for German noble families, yet Vick, being a Butt-Monkey whose is absolutely pathetic as his simple job of cutting trees, doesn't resemble an aristocrat or anyone else you would expect to have the name at all, it's Played for Laughs or at least used to show he has Germanic origins.

Julis-Alexia von Riessfeld in The Asterisk War is European royalty: her homeland of Lieseltania is located in the real-life location of the western half of the Czech Republic, so it makes sense that she'd be an ethnic German and use the noble "von". Her surname literally means "rice field".

Elzam von Branstein, and probably his father Maier von Branstein, from Super Robot Wars. (Both are written as V. Branstein, but Elzam at least is confirmed to be "von".) They're merely Anti Villains, so they don't possess all the dark traits of this trope, but it allows Elzam to be an Expy of both the Red Baron and the Red Comet. Raidiese F. Branstein ditched the "von" to distance himself from his family.

In Dumb Patrol, set during World War I, Sam plays a German pilot named Baron Sam von Schpamm. It should be noted that Sam doesn't speak with a German accent, but just in his regular "cowboy" tone. The closest he comes are words like "dummkopf" and "schweinhund", and even then he mispronounces them. He also rants in gibberish that merely sounds like German when his initial attempt to stop Bugs in his plane results in him crashing into a mountain.

Beatrice Waltrud von Kirscheisen from Dies Irae who, despite being born and raised during the time of Nazi Germany and being decedent from German nobility, is an unfailingly good and idealistic woman. Even after her experiences with the Gestapo and Longinus Dreizehn Orden causes her to become somewhat more ruthless she remains strictly on the heroes side. She also serves as a foil on this trope to her superior, the much more fundamentalist Eleonore.

Professional wrestlers Baron Von Raschke and Fritz Von Erich, serve as classic examples of the Foreign Wrestling Heel type. The Von Erich Family eventually lost the Teutonic/Nazi gimmick. Fritz's sons were the top Faces of World Class Championship Wrestling (and Kerry would continue the pure face act in the WWF). Kerry's daughter, Lacey, played a Heel in TNA, though without the Nazi overtones; she's blonde, but otherwise not "Germanic." Instead, she was a member of The Beautiful People, a team of Alpha Bitches who thought they were better looking than everyone else.

Ludwig van Beethoven's name came from his Dutch ancestry, with a "van" as above which denoted his ancestors were farmers.note The name "Beethoven" itself literally translates to "beet fields." But living in Vienna he intentionally used the confusion with "von" to his advantage, letting people assume he was related to nobility. Eventually the truth came out in court during a custody dispute over his nephew. Beethoven was unable to demonstrate that he had any noble connections, meaning that his case could not be tried in the aristocratic Landrechte court, and got bumped down to the Vienna Magistrate, the court for commoners.

Girl Genius:
Von Pinn. First encountered as a nanny to the children on Castle Wulfenbach, then later revealed to be an ancient construct created specifically to protect the Heterodyne heirs and "keep them safe". She's The Baroness to anyone who threatens her charges.
Martellus von Blitzengaard ("Tweedle") and his sister Xerxsephnia von Blitzengaard ("Seffie"). No matter how much they try to present themselves as more "Lighter von Trope", in truth the Blitzengaards are one branch of an extended family full of Machiavellian schemers.
The Wulfenbach family never uses "von" in canon, but a lot of fans seem to use it for them outside the comic, largely due to the existence of this trope. The fact that they don't use it is likely related to the contempt the Baron has for the nobility's "rules". note  The Wulfenbachs were a low-ranking family, and The Baron was, technically, ineligible to inherit the title according to those rules.

On two separate occasions, Bugs Bunny is pitted against Yosemite Sam, who is an ally in an enemy cause, in which the latter is a German with the word "von" in his name, both of which sound fairly close to each other.
In Bunker Hill Bunny, set during The American Revolution, Sam plays a Hessian (a German allied with the British) named Sam von Schmamm.
In Dumb Patrol, set during World War I, Sam plays a German pilot named Baron Sam von Schpamm. It should be noted that Sam doesn't speak with a German accent, but just in his regular "cowboy" tone. The closest he comes are words like "dummkopf" and "schweinhund", and even then he mispronounces them.

Von Kaiser of Punch-Out!!, a stereotypical World War I-era German aristocrat and apparently a military academy boxing instructor. This still doesn't change the fact that after years of fighting, he has only made it to or has just dropped down to the number two place in the WVBA Minor Circuit. With a record of 23-13. One suspects he's 23-1 against Glass Joe and 0-12 against anyone else.

Major-General Erich von Klinkerhoffen of 'Allo 'Allo! certainly falls on the sterner side of Those Wacky Nazis, while Colonel Kurt von Strohm is more jovial. (Which says something when you can say that about someone who threatens to have people shot.)

Victoria has the neo-Nazi chieftain Leader von Braun, who might (by the sound of it) be related to the German rocket scientist—though protagonist John Rumford has some doubts about how legitimate his name really is. On the good side, there is Prince Michael of Prussia, referred to by his family name as Prince Michael von Hohenzollern.

Peanuts featured the Van Pelt siblings, Lucy, Linus and Rerun. (There's no evident relationship to Van Pelt from Jumanji, or Scott Van Pelt of ESPN.) Peanuts creator Charles Schulz was from Minnesota, a U.S. state that has always had large German-American and Dutch-American populations. So Linus and Lucy's last name is probably just meant to mark them as "typical Midwesterners."

Warhammer:
Used quite often for characters - especially nobles - from The Empire, which is unsurprising given that The Empire is based heavily on the Holy Roman Empire. Examples include Valmir von Raukov, Elector Count of Ostland, Isabella von Liebewitz, Elector Countess of Wissenland, and the mad engineer Hermann von Meinkopt, who invented the repeater handgun (getting in a bit of the "crazy German inventor" there too).
A prominent bloodline of Vampires in Warhammer are the Von Carsteins, modelled on the Dracula archetype and living in an analogue for the Black Forest.
Van examples would include the Chaos Sorcerer Egrimm van Horstmann and the infamous Witch Hunter Johann Van Hal (and his equally infamous ancestors). Van is also used in some Marienburger names to give them a more Dutch feel than the rest of the Empire's German, given that Marienburg is a mercantile free city on the Empire's Northwestern coast very reminiscent of the medieval Netherlands.

Doctor Who: When The Doctor goes to Germany, he usually presents identification that says he is 'Doctor von Wer', literally, 'Doctor of Who'. And no, it makes no more sense in German than it would in English. Pretty much any native speaker would immediately notice and wonder if this was supposed to be some kind of joke. (Germany does feature two or three places called Wehr he could hypothetically claim to be from, but the word isn't particularly related to "wer" and so the pun wouldn't work quite so easily anymore except perhaps as a Genius Bonus.)

Henrietta "Annette" von Penrose from 86 EIGHTY-SIX, a brilliant scientist for the Republic of San Magnolia and its Alba supremacist government. Her father, Josef von Penrose, takes the darker Germanic parallel even further, as he was the one responsible for developing the Para-RAID communication device through immense amounts of unethical human experimentation that eventually led him to kill himself. The name is also a clue in-universe that the von Penrose family were originally citizens of the aggressively expansionist Germanic-style Empire of Giad and were actually immigrants to the Republic, not native-born citizens of San Magnolia.

When creating a villain for Starslip Crisis Kris Straub stated he was trying to come up with the most evil-sounding name imaginable. A reader pointed out that "Archcount Obdrath Lucifuge" could benefit from this trope, Straub publicly announced "why didn't I think of that?", and the name was immediately changed (retroactively to Obdrath von Lucifuge's first appearance).

Luke fon Fabre and his family from Tales of the Abyss. His mother is Susanne, whose brother is the king of Kimlasca, while his father is Duke Fabre (his first name is unknown). This is one of the rare times this was used correctly.

Otto and Elke van Dalsen, TAC names "Rage" and "Scream" of Ace Combat 7's Mimic Squadron are neither Osean nor Erusean. They are bats (according to Húxi�n) who are out for your blood, and their planes contain a dark livery.
