Unterteller

Unterteller is a German-language surname of toponymic origin and may also be used to refer to place-based names in German-speaking regions. The name is formed from the prefix Unter- meaning lower or beneath, combined with a place-name element; in habitational surnames, the suffix -er denotes an inhabitant or native of a place. Consequently, Unterteller is commonly interpreted as “a person from the lower valley” or from a locality associated with a lower-valley name.

In onomastic usage, Unterteller is relatively uncommon. There are no widely recognized individuals with this surname documented in major reference works, and it does not correspond to a single well-known geographic entity on its own. The name appears in genealogical records and regional registries, particularly within German-speaking areas, where many surnames reflect geographic origins.
