in reply to a message by florence
I googled it and found that it is possibly a variant of two other more common names ...
Kelleher ....
Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Céileachair ‘son of Céileachar’, a personal name meaning ‘companion-dear’, i.e. ‘lover of company’.
Or maybe Kohler ...
German: occupational name for a charcoal burner, from Middle High German kol ‘(char)coal’ + the agent suffix -er. The form Kohler is South German; elsewhere it is usually written Köhler.
