Müller
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The German word Müller means "miller" (as a profession). It is a common family surname in Germany and Switzerland and the 5th most common surname in Austria (see List of most common surnames). 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.
