The surname Imbler has its origins in Germany, dating back to the 12th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old German word "imble," which means "diligent" or "hard-working." This name was likely given to individuals who exhibited these qualities in their daily lives or professions.

One of the earliest known records of the Imbler surname can be found in the Codex Diplomaticus Saxoniae Regiae, a collection of medieval documents from Saxony, Germany. In this codex, there is a mention of a man named Imbelo in the year 1198, which is considered one of the earliest known instances of the name.

The Imbler name also appears in the Liber Censuum, a papal census record from the 13th century. This document lists several individuals with the surname Imbler living in various parts of Germany, indicating that the name had already spread across the region by that time.

In the 14th century, there are records of an Imbler family residing in the town of Nuremberg, which was a prominent center of trade and commerce in medieval Germany. Notable individuals from this family include Johannes Imbler (1325-1398), a respected merchant, and Heinrich Imbler (1362-1421), a skilled artisan known for his intricate woodcarvings.

During the 16th century, the Imbler name gained further prominence in Germany, with several members of the family holding positions of influence in various cities. One such individual was Friedrich Imbler (1498-1569), a respected scholar and theologian who served as a professor at the University of Wittenberg and was a close associate of Martin Luther.

Another notable figure with the Imbler surname was Anna Imbler (1572-1632), a German noblewoman known for her patronage of the arts and her extensive collection of Renaissance paintings and sculptures.
