Zeigler is a re-spelling of
the German name Ziegler, which is an occupational name for a tiler.
It comes from the Middle High German ziegel 'roof tile" (Old High German ziagal, from Latin tegula).
In the Middle Ages, the word was used to indicate bricks as well
as tiles. As a result, it may have referred to a brickmaker or
bricklayer, as well as a tiler. (Dictionary of American Family
