Meaning & origin(measured from records)
occupational name for a cooper, from an agent derivative of Middle High German kiibel ‘tub’, ‘vat’, ‘barrel’. Alternatively, but less likely, it may be a derivative of the Franconian dialect word Kobel ‘hut’, ‘dovecote’, here denoting a farm laborer’s cottage, and hence a name for a cotter (a peasant occupying a tied cottage belonging to a farm).

About this data
measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated
These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.
Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.
Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
