What is the meaning of the name Addler ?

The baby name Addler is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈæd.lər/ (AD-lər).

Addler is German in Origin.

Addler is a modern respelling of Adler, a German surname and noun meaning “eagle,” deriving from Middle High German adelar(e) and Old High German adalari, a compound of adel “noble” + ar/ari “eagle”; hence “noble eagle.” It is also borne by Ashkenazic Jews as an ornamental surname from Yiddish Adler.

As a given name, Addler follows the English-language trend of adopting surnames as first names from the late 19th century onward, with sporadic use in the U.S., Canada, and Australia, and gaining modest contemporary appeal for its strong avian symbolism and clean sound. Variants and related forms include Adler (standard), Adlar, Addlar, and the feminine Adlera; nicknames may be Addy or Dell. The spelling Addler is uncommon and sometimes conflated with Alder (the tree), but its intended meaning remains “eagle” or “noble eagle.”
