English, Scottish, and German: occupational name for a maker or seller of saddles, from Middle English sadeler(e) ‘saddler’ or an agent derivative of Middle High German and Middle Low German sadel ‘saddle’. The name has also been established in Ireland since the 16th century. In North America, this surname has also absorbed other German variants (see Sattler and Sedler ) and cognates from other languages, e.g. Polish Siedlarz and Czech Sedlář, Slovak Sedlár, Slovenian and Croatian Sedlar .
