Jüngling is a surname of German origin. It has been anglicized as Juengling, Jungling, Yuengling, Yungling, and Yingling. Branches of this family currently exist throughout Europe, mostly concentrated in Germany, and in the United States.
The name Jüngling is translated in German as "youth". As Peter N. Stearns writes in the Encyclopedia of Social History, "Linguistic designations for preindustrial youth were class and gender specific. In Germany, for example, adults used separate designations for upper-class boys (Jungling) and girls (Jungfrau). Jungling implied a romantic image of youthful innocence, idealism, and vulnerability."[1] Also writing about noble youth, Der Jüngling is a German didactic poem by Konrad von Haslau written in 1270. It provides 1264 lines of instructions for young noblemen "that emphasized the more superficial aspects of proper behavior."[2]
