Stotler Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

The surname Stotler is of German origin. It is derived from the German word 'stoltz,' which means 'proud.' As such, it was most likely originally a nickname, which became a hereditary surname.

The Stotler surname is thought to have originated in the region of Silesia, in modern-day Poland. It was first recorded in the 13th century and was borne by a family of knights who were granted land in the region by the Holy Roman Emperor.

The Stotler family later migrated to other parts of Germany, as well as to the Netherlands, Switzerland, and France. In the 18th century, many Stotlers emigrated to the United States, where the surname is now most common.

In addition to the meaning 'proud,' the Stotler surname may also have been derived from the Low German dialect word 'stotteln,' which means 'to stammer.' This would suggest that the original bearer of the surname may have had a speech impediment.
