The kachel Surname
kachel Name Meaning and History
German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): metonymic occupational name for a
potter, from Middle High German kachel ‘pot’, ‘earthenware
vessel’. The surname is common in the Alemannic and Swabian
regions. The modern German sense ‘glazed tile’ is a fairly recent
development, and probably has not contributed to the surname. Compare
Euler, Hafner, and Töpfer (see Toepfer).
