About Kohler

This occupational surname comes from an old Germanic word, koler, referring to someone who made their living working with charcoal. Today, in the US, it might be associated with the plumbing manufacturer, Kohler Co., the department store, Kohl's, or perhaps kohl eyeliner pencils.

Nevertheless, as a last name with a K initial, Kohler could well fit in with the likes of Kyzer, Colter, Karter, and Colton.

Pronounced KO-ler.

As of October 2026, Kohler ranked #10427 for boys in US births in 2024 SSA, peaked at #7364 for boys in 2010.
