ボウラー

語源的にはボール、球と同じ。

bowler: bowler: [19] The bowler hat was apparently named after the Bowlers, a family of 19thcentury London hatters who specialized in its manufacture. The first known reference to it comes in the Saturday Review 21 September 1861: ‘We are informed that he … wore … a white bowler hat’.
bowler (n.1): "hard round hat," 1861, said to be from a J. Bowler, 19c. London hat manufacturer. A John Bowler of Surrey, hat manufacturer, was active from the 1820s to the 1840s, and a William Bowler, hat-manufacturer, of Southwark Bridge Road, Surrey, sought a patent in 1854 for "improvements in hats and other coverings for the head." But perhaps the word is simply from bowl (n.); compare Old English heafodbolla "brainpan, skull." The earliest usages are with a lower-case b-.
bowler (n.2): "player at bowls," c. 1500.
