Stuhler Family History

German (also Stühler): occupational name for a chair maker from an agent derivative of Middle High German stuol ‘chair’.

Alternatively, it can be a topographic name for someone who lived in a place known as a Stuhl.

This is derived from the same word but in the transferred sense ‘area of raised land’.

The name reflects both trade and geographical features associated with the profession or the location.

Thus, the name encapsulates aspects of craftsmanship and natural landscape in its meaning.
