I think my ancestors were from Switzerland. It's such an unusual name, I have always wondered if it had a meaning.

It is a variation of Iserlin. I suppose its meaning is connected with the river Iser.

Or, perhaps more likely, Iserlin is related to Isenlin meaning 'iron' See my post: http://surnames.behindthename.com/messages/2136.html
