Giller Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

The Giller surname is of English, German, and Yiddish origins. The English surname is a variant of the surname Guiler, itself derived from an old French word meaning 'deceiver'. The German surname might either be a patronymic, derived from any given name like Gill or Gille, or a habitational name denoting someone who came from Gill in the Rhine region of Germany. The Yiddish surname Giller is derived from the given name Hiller, itself a Yiddish variant of Hebrew name Hillel (which means 'praise'). The initial G is due to Russian language influence, since the Russian alphabet has no h letter and commonly alters the letter h to g in borrowed words and foreign names.
