![Show Contents]() Bachiler History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Switzerland, which is renowned for both its beauty and its political neutrality, is the glorious birthplace of the distinguished surname Bachiler. Before the late Middle Ages, people were known only by a single name. However, as the population increased and travelers set out on their journeys, it became necessary for people to adopt a second name to identify themselves. Many people, such as the Bachiler family, adopted the name of their feudal occupation as their surname. However, an occupational name did not become a hereditary surname until the office or type of employment became hereditary. The surname Bachiler was an occupational name for a baker. Further research showed the name was derived from the German word beck, which means bake. Early Origins of the Bachiler familyThe surname Bachiler was first found in Basel, where the name Beckel was closely identified in early mediaeval times with the feudal society of early Europe. The family would later emerge as a noble family with great influence, having many distinguished branches, and become noted for its involvement in social, economic and political affairs.
