Re: Stubli/Steubli or Rumohr
While searching for this name I've learned that stubli and stuebli are Vorarlberg dialect for stube. Vorarlberg is in Western Austria but the dialect is also spoken in neighbouring districts of Switzerland and Germany. So maybe it's a metonymic for one of Andy's suggestions; a barber, or someone who works in a tavern.
