Re: Surname Lyerla
It might be from the German surname Leierle (not common), which is probably a variant of another surname, Leier. Leier means "lyre", and the name could be a metonymic for a player of that instrument. There are other possibilities but nothing certain to my knowledge. Andy might know more.
