Meaning and background
The story behind Muller
Muller represents more than one surname tradition. The Dictionary of American Family Names links German and Ashkenazic forms with Müller, records Dutch variation of Mulder, and English variation of Miller. It also notes the surname's presence in France. The unaccented letters therefore do not identify one language or family history by themselves. Earlier spellings, including an umlaut where relevant, would help establish which connection belongs to a particular namesake.
