The surname Anderle is of Czech origin, with its roots traced back to the late 15th century. The name is believed to have originated in the region of Bohemia, which was part of the Kingdom of Bohemia during that time. The name Anderle is a diminutive form of the German name Andreas, derived from the Greek name Andreas, meaning "manly" or "brave."
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Anderle can be found in a document from the Bohemian town of Kladno, dated 1489. The document mentions a certain Jan Anderle, who was a local landowner. Another early reference to the name comes from the Czech town of Plzen, where a record from 1512 mentions a Matej Anderle, who was a blacksmith.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, the name Anderle began to spread beyond the borders of Bohemia to other regions of the Habsburg Monarchy, such as Moravia and Silesia. In the 18th century, the name appeared in various records from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, including birth and marriage registers from the cities of Vienna and Budapest.
One notable person with the surname Anderle was Jan Anderle (1870-1939), a Czech painter and illustrator who was known for his depictions of rural life in Bohemia. His works can be found in several museums and art galleries across the Czech Republic.
Another famous bearer of the name was Rudolf Anderle (1892-1964), an Austrian architect and urban planner who was instrumental in the reconstruction of Vienna after World War II. He was also involved in the planning and construction of several important buildings in the city, including the Vienna International Center.
In the 20th century, the name Anderle gained some recognition in the field of literature. Josef Anderle (1909-1990) was a Czech writer and journalist who published several novels and short stories depicting the lives of ordinary people in his native Bohemia.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
