Müller
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Germanic word Müller means "miller" (as a profession). It is a common family surname in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Of the various family crests that exist, many incorporate milling iconography, such as windmills or watermill wheels. Names of this derivation exist through much of Europe, for example Melnik in the Ukraine.
