German: from Adler ‘eagle’, in most cases a topographic or habitational name referring to a house identified by the sign of an eagle. The German noun is from Middle High German adelar, itself a compound of adel ‘noble’ + ar ‘eagle’. This surname is also found in e.g. Czechia, Poland, and Slovenia, often as a translation into German of the Slavic surname Orel , in Hungary, where it is spelled Ádler, and in France (Alsace and Lorraine).
Jewish (Ashkenazic): artificial name meaning ‘eagle’.
