About the Adeler Surname

Seen on a birth certificate or a ship's manifest, Adeler is usually a form of Adler. The family name meaning is “Eagle”, the same as for Adler.

Spelling and variants

The extra “e” in Adeler is a spelling habit rather than a different name. Regional accents shaped spellings long before dictionaries fixed them. You may also find the name written Adlers and Adelaar.

Family crest and blazon

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Adeler, so the heraldry linked to Adler is a starting point, not an automatic right.
