Keler: Last Name Origin and Family Crest

Many Keler families will find their roots under Keller, the form most records use. The name is generally explained as “Cellarer, steward of stores”. Keler drops the “l” of Keller, a shortening that clerks often made. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists.

Other spellings include Kellner and Kellermann.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Keler, so the heraldry linked to Keller is a starting point, not an automatic right. Want more than a summary? See the Keler family name pack.
