Etymology
Hitler is a German family name that probably comes from an older form like Hüttler or Hiedler, linked to the word 'hut' meaning a 'small house'. So the name originally meant 'someone from a hut' or who worked there, but today Hitler is best known as the name of the German leader Adolf Hitler.
