The history of the last name Weinle

The surname Weinle is believed to have originated in Germany, with its earliest known records dating back to the 16th century. It is thought to be derived from the German word "Wein," meaning "wine," combined with the suffix "-le," which is a diminutive form indicating a small or little something. This suggests that the name may have initially been associated with individuals who were involved in the wine trade or lived near vineyards.

One of the earliest documented instances of the surname Weinle can be found in the records of the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, located in the Bavaria region of Germany. In these records, dated around 1550, a man named Hans Weinle is mentioned as a resident of the town. It is believed that this individual may have been a winemaker or a merchant dealing in wine, which would align with the proposed meaning of the name.

As the centuries passed, the Weinle surname began to spread across various regions of Germany, with some bearers of the name eventually migrating to other parts of Europe and beyond. In the late 17th century, a man named Johann Weinle (1672-1744) was born in the town of Schwabach, located in the Middle Franconia region of Bavaria. Johann was a prominent figure in his community and served as a local magistrate.

Another notable individual with the Weinle surname was Friedrich Weinle (1810-1892), a German painter and lithographer. Born in Esslingen am Neckar, Weinle was known for his landscape paintings and romantic scenes depicting rural life in Germany. His works were highly regarded during his lifetime and can be found in various art museums and collections across Europe.

In the 19th century, the surname Weinle also found its way to the United States, likely through German immigrants seeking new opportunities in the rapidly developing country. One such individual was Carl Weinle (1832-1901), who was born in Wurttemberg, Germany, and later settled in Ohio, where he worked as a farmer and landowner.

Another notable American with the Weinle surname was William Weinle (1892-1976), a professional baseball player who spent several seasons in the Major Leagues during the early 20th century. Weinle played for teams such as the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Athletics, and was known for his defensive skills as an outfielder.

While the surname Weinle may have originated from humble beginnings, it has been carried by individuals across various professions and walks of life throughout history.
