Origin: British

Meaning: Wheel wright, maker of wheels; Prosperous hero, lucky warrior

Wheeler is an industrious name for boys with British origins, once an occupational surname for wheel makers. However, Wheeler’s roots span further to the Anglo-Saxon Wielher, which bears a different meaning entirely. Flaunting the endearments of “prosperous hero” or “lucky warrior,” once baby Wheeler gets rolling on the path to success, there’ll be no stopping them!
