Pollereshusa‚ close to the houses of the Bollsers’, a typical name of the 3rd stage of development –ingen, -inghofen, und –wil within the "allemanic" settlement. The family name Boller belongs to Swiss German ‚boll’, ‚hill’, ‚crest’ (today Bööl oder Büel). The family name Boller is derived from the village name ‚Boll’, which is quite common in Switzerand. Also the name Boller is often found in old documents. The family name: not citizen of Boltschhusen, because one became only in Konstanz or elsewhere a Boltshauser, thus one, which is tightened to Boltshausen. The origin as a motive for the family name is quite common, as for example Rutishauser, Bornhauser.
