Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Müller.

Etymology: < the name of Franz Müller, German tailor and convicted murderer (1839–64): see note below. Compare slightly later Müller n.⁶Müller was hanged on 14th November 1864 for the murder of Thomas Briggs, an elderly bank clerk, on a train in London on 9th July of that year. The prosecution at his trial proved that Müller had left the crime scene wearing the victim's tall top hat and leaving his own low-crowned hat behind, and had subsequently cut the top hat down in an attempt to disguise its provenance. See further H. B. Irving Trial of Franz Müller (1911) (Notable English Trials Series). O.E.D. Suppl. (1976) gives the pronunciation as (mü·ləɹ) /ˈmʏlə(r)/, and for the spelling without an umlaut (mu·ləɹ) /ˈmʊlə(r)/.

Obsolete.
