The ancient and distinguished surname Oesterreichle is derived from the Old High German words "ostar," meaning "eastern," and "rihhi," meaning "kingdom." Thus, the name is used to denote someone who came from an eastern region. Oesterreichle is also the German name for the Republic of Austria, and is therefore a common surname for Germans of Austrian ancestry.
