Kibler (surname)

Kibler is a surname of German origin. It is considered to be a variant of the surname Kübler, which itself derives from the Middle High German word "kübel," meaning "tub" or "vat." As such, the surname likely originated as an occupational name for a maker of tubs, vats, or buckets.

The surname is relatively uncommon but can be found in various parts of the world, particularly in North America, where many German immigrants settled.

Variations of the surname include Kübler, Kuebler, Kibbler, and Keebler. The Keebler spelling is, of course, also famous for the Keebler Company, known for its cookies and crackers, though a direct familial link to all individuals named Kibler is not established.
