Bueller Origin and Meaning

The name Bueller is a boy's name.

Bueller is a masculine name of German origin functioning as a rare first name derived from a surname. Originally an occupational surname for someone who lived or worked on a hill (from Middle High German 'bühel' meaning 'hill'), it gained unexpected popularity following the 1986 film 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.' The character's rebellious charm and iconic 'Bueller... Bueller... Bueller' roll call scene created cultural significance for the name. While extremely uncommon as a first name, some parents choose it for its distinctive sound and pop culture association with free-spirited individuality. It represents a bold, unconventional naming choice that immediately evokes the carefree, seize-the-day philosophy embodied by the film's protagonist.
