Family name origins & meanings

  • Probably an altered spelling of German Rummler or Rümmler, a nickname for a disruptive or noisy person, from an agent derivative of Middle High German rummeln, rumpeln ‘to move impetuously’, ‘to make a noise’, or occasionally from a short form of a personal name formed with Old High German hrōd ‘renown’.
