It's pronounced "oiler". German eu sounds like
English oi.
For example: Freund(= friend in English) is
pronounced "froind".

I've always heard "oiler". But I don't know what language the name is from, so can't tell if that's right.

It's a German name so it's pronounced "oiler".

The proper pronounciation is "Oiler", as per my many math teachers and professors.

It's greek, so it's supposed to sound like oiler.
Of course most people learn about it in the formative years of schooling, and are taught by teachers who don't actually know how to pronounce it, and grow up thinking it rhymes with ruler.
