One of the earliest recorded mentions of the Struble surname can be found in the records of the town of Marburg, Germany, in the year 1548. These records include a reference to a certain Johann Struble, a local landowner and farmer.

In the 17th century, the Struble name began to spread beyond Germany, with some members of the family migrating to other parts of Europe and even to the American colonies. One notable bearer of the name during this period was Hans Struble, a German-born soldier who fought in the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648).
