Notes for ? (HITTEL) HITTLE:
----- NOTES FOR HITTEL:
NAME: The Name of Hittel or Hittle is derived from the German
name Huttler which means a "Maker of huts or man who lives in a
small house."
Other variations of the name Hittel are: Hittle, Hutte,
Huttle, Huttelein, Huttler, Huttle, Hittler, Hitler, Hitle.
In America, most persons of this family are now named Hittle,
and a few are named Hittel. In the early 18th century, when the
first of the family arrived, the name was spelled: Hittel,
Huettle, Hittler, Huettler, Hettler, Hiddle, and one time spelled
Hylttel. Often the person writing down the name did not know how
it was spelled so he wrote it the way it sounded.
Although the name Hitler is included in the variations of the
name Hittel, the tyrant Hitler known around the world, is no
relation to the family of Huttler. He was the illegitimate son of
Maria Schicklgruber and Johan George Hiedler, and changed his name
to Hitler. Hiedler is a completely different family.
A look in a dictionary of surnames will show you that Huttel,
Hutter, Huttner, Hutten, Huttel, Hittel, were one who came from a
Hutten (small House) in Germany; dweller in a small cottage; and
that Hittler, Hitler was one who supervised saltworks.
It appears that two brothers of the Hittel family came to
America, George Michael and Johann Peter Hittel, both settling near
each other in Northampton County (that part now Lehigh County),
Pennsylvania.
