Püchler Surname Meaning & Coat of Arms

Seen on a birth certificate or a ship's manifest, Püchler is usually a form of Pichler. The two spellings differ in a small detail: Püchler has “ü” where Pichler has “i”. Its meaning, shared with Pichler, is “one who lived on a hill”. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists.

The same family of names includes Bichler.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Püchler, so the heraldry linked to Pichler is a starting point, not an automatic right. Get the complete Püchler report, with a museum-style coat of arms.
