The cuyler Surname
cuyler Name Meaning and History
Dutch: probably a variant of Koole, from a short form of the
personal name Nikolaas (see Nicholas). This is a common
Dutch name in the Albany area. A variant form of the surname in the
Netherlands is Kuilart, suggesting perhaps that these could be
occupational names for a potato grower, from kuilen ‘to plant
potatoes’ (from kuil ‘pit’, ‘hole’).
