Kohler Origin and Meaning

The name Kohler is a boy's name meaning "charcoal seller; charcoal burner".

This occupational surname comes from an old Germanic word, koler, referring to someone who made their living working with charcoal. Today, in the US, it might be associated with the plumbing manufacturer, Kohler Co., the department store, Kohl's, or perhaps kohl eyeliner pencils.

Nevertheless, as a last name with a K initial, Kohler could well fit in with the likes of Kyzer, Colter, Karter, and Colton.
