There seem to be several derivations of BOHLER as a German name (plus a few others in other languages):

Some more (German) ideas (not necessarily very likely):
1. From BALDWIN
2. Middle Low German "bole" (brother, relative, lover)
3. habitional name from "bol(l)e" (beam, board)
4. Middle High German "bühel" (hill)

Most of this is taken from:
