Help[Surname] Re: Bohler
in reply to a message by Enelya_Greenleaf
I'm no expert, but my guess would be an alternate spelling of Buhler, which is a person from the city of Buhl.

There seem to be several derivations of BOHLER as a German name (plus a few others in other languages):

Some more (German) ideas (not necessarily very likely):
1. From BALDWIN
2. Middle Low German "bole" (brother, relative, lover)
3. habitional name from "bol(l)e" (beam, board)
4. Middle High German "bühel" (hill)
