The surname Jungling originated in Germany, specifically in the Bavarian region, during the late medieval period. It is derived from the Middle High German word "junc," meaning "young," and the suffix "-ling," which indicates a small or diminutive form. Thus, the name likely referred to a young person or a young member of a family or community.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Jungling can be found in the Bavarian town records from the 14th century. It is believed that the name was initially used as a descriptive nickname or a profession-related surname, referring to a young apprentice or a younger member of a craft guild.

In the 15th century, there is a record of a Johann Jungling, a master blacksmith from the town of Augsburg, who was renowned for his intricate metalwork designs. Another notable figure from the same era was Margarethe Jungling, a prominent herbalist and healer from the village of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, whose expertise in medicinal plants was widely sought after in the region.

During the 16th century, the name Jungling gained prominence among the German nobility. One example is Hans Jungling von Riedlingen (1510-1578), a knight and military commander who served under the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. He was recognized for his bravery and leadership in several campaigns against the Ottoman Empire.

In the 17th century, a branch of the Jungling family migrated to the Netherlands, where they established themselves as successful traders and merchants. One of the most prominent figures from this lineage was Pieter Jungling (1625-1697), a Dutch East India Company merchant who amassed significant wealth through his trading ventures in the East Indies.

Another noteworthy individual with the Jungling surname was Maria Jungling (1745-1823), a German artist and engraver from Nuremberg.
