The history of the last name Ausler

The surname AUSLER is believed to have originated in Germany during the Middle Ages. It is thought to be derived from the Old German word "auslāri," which referred to someone who lived on the outskirts or boundaries of a town or village.

The earliest recorded instances of the surname date back to the 13th century, with mentions found in various medieval records and manuscripts from the regions of Bavaria and Saxony. One notable early bearer of the name was Heinrich Ausler, a landowner in the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the late 1200s.

As the name spread throughout German-speaking regions, it underwent various spellings and variations, including Ausler, Aussler, and Aussler. These variations were often influenced by local dialects and scribal errors in record-keeping.

In the 15th century, the name appeared in the Berner Schilling, a Swiss manuscript that documented the coats of arms of noble families. This suggests that some branches of the Ausler family had attained a degree of prominence and status during this period.

One of the earliest known instances of the name in England can be found in the parish records of St. Mary's Church in Sandwich, Kent, where a certain John Ausler is recorded as having been married in 1612.

Notable bearers of the surname throughout history include:

1. Hans Ausler (c. 1470-1536), a German painter and engraver from Nuremberg.
2. Johann Ausler (1598-1672), a German composer and organist active in the Baroque period.
3. Wilhelm Ausler (1805-1882), a German-American educator and author who founded the first German-language school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
4. Gottlieb Ausler (1828-1904), a German-American architect and civil engineer who designed several notable buildings in St. Louis, Missouri.
5. Helene Ausler (1892-1976), an Austrian operatic soprano who performed extensively in Europe and the United States during the early 20th century.
