Steudel

Steudel is a surname of German origin. It is derived from the Middle High German word "stiudel," which refers to a trough, basin, or tub. As a surname, it likely originated as an occupational name for someone who made or used such objects, or perhaps a topographic name for someone who lived near a prominent trough-like feature.

The name Steudel can be found primarily in Germany, with some presence in countries with significant German diaspora populations, such as the United States and Brazil.

Variations in spelling may exist, depending on regional dialects and historical transcriptions.
