Woller Family History

English (Sussex, Surrey, and Middlesex): habitational name from Wooler (Northumberland) which probably derives from Old English wella ‘well, spring, stream’ + ofer ‘slope, hill, ridge’.

Alternatively, it can sometimes be an occupational name from an agent derivative of Middle English woll, wull ‘wool’ (Old English wull), for a wool dealer or someone who worked with wool.

German: occupational name for a wool worker whose job was to prepare wool for spinning, Middle High German wollære.

Additionally, in German, it serves as a variant of Walther.
