Herrl Family Crest & Name History

If your family name is Herrl, its origin lies with Herr, a long-established German surname. Read literally, Herrl points to “A lord or master, perhaps a manor servant”.

A variant of Herr

Before spelling was fixed, Herr was also written Herrl. Regional accents shaped spellings long before dictionaries fixed them. You may also find the name written Herre.

Family crest and blazon
