 Germany
Bavaria, one of the oldest and largest of the German states, is the birthplace of the Spingler family. After the 12th century, hereditary surnames were adopted according to fairly general rules. Names derived from occupations were particularly common in this region. Spingler is an occupational surname for maker or user of spindles which is derived from the German word "spindel" of the same meaning. Early Origins of the Spingler familyThe surname Spingler was first found in Franconia, where the name Spindler emerged in mediaeval times as one of the notable families of the region. From the 13th century on, the surname was identified with the great social and economic evolution which made this territory a landmark contributor to the development of the nation.

German names are characterized by additions such as regional suffixes and phrases that tell something about the origin or background of its original bearer. Further contributing to the variation in German names was the fact that there were no spelling rules in medieval times: scribes recorded names according to their sound.
