Kroll
Kroll is a German family name.
origin
The name is a Germanization of the Polish król ( king ). An alternative origin of the name comes from the Low German: here crull means frizzy hair and was therefore a common nickname for people with curls. Over the centuries, modifications such as Krull, Krol, Kroll or similar developed from this.
