Last name origins & meanings:
- German: from a pet form of the personal name Albrecht
(see Albert).
- German: from Aal ‘eel’, Middle High
German āl; generally the application would have been to an
eel fisher, but in some cases it may also be a nickname for a
‘slippery’ person.
- German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): metonymic
occupational name for a cobbler, from Middle High German āle
‘awl’, German Ahle.
- Swedish: from al ‘alder’,
applied either as a topographic or an ornamental name. The -h-
in the surname is purely ornamental and does not occur in the
vocabulary word.
