Kienzle
Kienzle is a family name originating in the Swabian-speaking areas of Southwestern Germany. The traditional Swabian pronunciation of the name is , and in Standard German it is pronounced with a long  rather than a diphthong: . It is quite common in Swabia and other Alemannic-speaking areas. Other forms of the name include Künzli in Switzerland (pronounced  or ). Etymology 
The name is ultimately derived from Middle High German Kuonrât (the keen advisor) from which the German first name "Konrad" is also derived. The abbreviated form of Konrad is Kunz, which yielded the Swabian diminutive Küenzle which was subsequently changed to Kienzle through the de-rounding of front vowels around the 13th-14th century.
