Does anyone know of what origin the surname "Preisler" is?

Question:Your avatar is too cool, especially if you are researching your ancestry.
I scanned quickly, and find many persons with the name who came from areas in Europe ie Germany, Galicia, Denmark,etc. It is often impossible to pinpoint the exact one place that any name comes from.. for the simple reason that "one" origin does not exist. Especially Germany, which had jurisdiction over other countries at different times. The same applies to many countries in that area. My ancestors were born in what is now Poland.. yet when they left, they technically were part of Germany.
There are dictionaries and sites that offer origins or definitions, but might only include "common" names.
If you want the info for yourself.. your best route is to actually trace your ancestor and find the exact place ie town/village. Political boundaries move around.. the church record will remain in the location.
If this is for a school assignment.. you may get definition/ origin from another answer. I am not fond of teachers giving this assignment since they don't always understand that there is no correct answer, without research.
