"Acting IRS chief Danny Werfel" -- isn't that an Irish name?

IRS chief says he’d rather not switch to ObamaCare plan

Anybody out there happen to know the origin of the Werfel surname? I love names and languages, but this one's a mystery to me. I think it's Irish -- there's such a preponderance of Irish names in the running of things today I'm sure it can't be entirely healthy.
