Fässler

Fässler is a surname of Swiss German origin. It is derived from the Middle High German word "vëzzer," which translates to "butcher." The name likely denoted an occupation, indicating that an ancestor of the person bearing the surname was a butcher. As with many occupational surnames, it would have been given to individuals who practiced this trade. Over time, the surname became hereditary, passed down through generations. The Fässler surname is most common in German-speaking regions, particularly Switzerland and southern Germany. Variations of the spelling may exist due to regional dialectal differences or historical transcription practices, though Fässler is the predominant form. Families with this surname have spread globally due to migration, but their origins remain rooted in the Germanic occupational naming traditions. There are no widely recognized historical figures or well-known public individuals whose primary identifier is "Fässler" that would warrant specific biographical inclusion without further context. The surname itself signifies a historical connection to a common medieval trade.
