The name Keeler is of English origin, derived from an occupational surname that was originally given to a maker of barrels, which were traditionally used for storing liquids such as ale and wine. The word 'keeler' itself is an old term for a cooper, someone who makes barrels, so the name has a strong connection to this historic trade.
