Kellerin

Kellerin is a surname of Germanic origin, generally treated as a variant of Keller, an occupational or topographic name derived from the Middle High German word for cellar or basement. The addition of the suffix -in may reflect dialectal variation, a feminine form in some naming traditions, or a later orthographic development, though the exact origin can vary by family and region.

Geographic distribution and usage suggest that Kellerin is most commonly found in German-speaking areas, particularly Germany and Austria, with smaller clusters in Switzerland and among emigrant communities in North America and elsewhere. The surname is relatively uncommon compared with more widespread names.

Notable people with the surname Kellerin are not widely documented in major biographical references. The name may appear in genealogical records or private family histories without forming a widely recognized public figure.
