Etymology of MulerWhat does the name Muler mean? The Muler surname is thought to have originated in Bavaria, Germany. As hereditary surnames began to be adopted in that area beginning in the 12th century, people were often identified by the kind of work they did. Muler is an occupational name for a miller, derived from the Old Germanic "Mulinari."

The name is the German form of the Latin name "Molinarius," "Mulinari" in Old German.

| Muler migration to the United States | + |
European migration to North America began in the mid-17th century and continued unabated until the mid-20th. Many Bavarians made the long trip to escape poverty or persecution based on their religious beliefs. The chance for tenant farmers to own their own land was also a major drawing card. They settled all across the United States in Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Illinois, and California. Many came to Canada also, settling in Ontario and the prairie provinces. Analysis of immigration records has shown some of the first Mulers to arrive in North America, and among them were:
Muler Settlers in United States in the 18th Century- Ann Mare Muler, aged 26, who arrived in Pennsylvania in 1732 1
- Christopher Muler, who landed in Pennsylvania in 1732 1
Muler Settlers in United States in the 20th Century- Mr. Franz Muler, aged 16, German settler who arrived in New York in 1893 aboard the ship "Italia" 2
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Virtute ingenioque valemus
Motto Translation: We are strong because our virtue and talent
