The history of the last name Maierle

The surname Maierle originated in the German-speaking regions of Europe, likely in the southern parts of Germany or Austria. It is derived from the German word "Mayer," which means a land overseer or steward, particularly one who managed a farm or estate.

The earliest recorded instances of the surname Maierle can be traced back to the 13th and 14th centuries in various regions of Germany and Austria. It was commonly spelled as "Mayer," "Maier," or "Meier" during that time period. The addition of the suffix "-le" to form "Maierle" is thought to have originated as a diminutive form of the name, indicating a smaller or lesser version of the original occupation.

In the Codex Traditionum Monasterii Mellicensis, a medieval manuscript from the Melk Abbey in Austria, there is a mention of a person named "Heinricus Mairle" in the year 1348. This is one of the earliest known records of the surname Maierle in its current spelling.

Several notable individuals with the surname Maierle have been recorded throughout history. One such person was Johann Maierle (1532-1608), a German theologian and philosopher who served as a professor at the University of Tübingen in the 16th century.

Another prominent figure was Georg Maierle (1591-1661), a German jurist and legal scholar who served as a judge and professor of law at the University of Ingolstadt in Bavaria.

In the 18th century, Johann Georg Maierle (1710-1778) was a German architect and urban planner who designed several notable buildings in the city of Würzburg, including the Würzburg Residence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Moving into the 19th century, Friedrich Maierle (1810-1892) was a German educator and author who wrote several books on teaching methods and educational philosophy.

More recently, in the 20th century, Hans Maierle (1920-2009) was a German artist known for his abstract expressionist paintings and sculptures.
