What is the meaning and the history of the last name 'Hitler' ?
I couldn't find the meaning or the history of 'Hitler', a very well known surname in modern history and I'm quiet curious about it.
Is there anyone who can help me?

It's a variant of the occupational name Hüttler, "a builder of huts".
I'm not certain but I think I remember reading that Hitler is a Bavarian dialect form.
