The surname HAULER is believed to have originated in Germany during the late Middle Ages. It is derived from the German word "hauler," which means "carter" or "one who hauls goods." The name likely referred to someone whose occupation was transporting goods by cart or wagon.

The earliest known record of the HAULER surname dates back to the 15th century in the region of Bavaria, where it was documented in local tax records and parish registers. Some variations of the spelling included Hauler, Häuler, and Heuler.

One of the earliest known bearers of the HAULER name was Hans Hauler, a merchant from the town of Augsburg, who was mentioned in guild records from the year 1487. Another notable figure was Johann Hauler, a farmer from the village of Rottenburg, whose name appeared in a land deed from 1542.

In the 17th century, the HAULER surname spread to other parts of Germany, as well as neighboring regions such as Austria and Switzerland. During this time, the name was also associated with certain place names, such as Haulersdorf (meaning "Hauler's village") in Saxony.
