Kachel Family History
Kachel Name Meaning
German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): metonymic occupational name for a potter from Middle High German kachel ‘pot earthenware vessel’. The surname is common in the Alemannic and Swabian regions. The modern German sense ‘glazed tile’ is a fairly recent development and probably has not contributed to the surname. Compare Euler Hafner and Töpfer (see Toepfer ).
