One of the earliest documented instances of the name Noller can be found in the church records of Schwäbisch Hall, a town in Baden-Württemberg, where a certain Johann Noller was mentioned in an entry from 1587. This suggests that the family had already established themselves in the region by that time.

In the 17th century, the Noller name appeared in various records across southern Germany, indicating the spread of the family. For instance, a Hans Noller was recorded as a resident of Nürnberg in 1621, while a Wilhelm Noller was mentioned in the records of Augsburg in 1648.

The 18th century saw the emergence of several notable individuals bearing the Noller surname. Johann Michael Noller (1720-1783) was a renowned German sculptor and woodcarver, best known for his intricate altarpieces and church decorations in the Baroque style. His works can still be admired in various churches across Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.

Another prominent figure was Friedrich Noller (1771-1846), a German theologian and philosopher who served as a professor at the University of Tübingen. He was a notable figure in the field of Protestant theology and wrote several works on ethics and moral philosophy.

In the 19th century, the Noller family continued to leave their mark across various fields.
