Why are shoe repair people called cooplers?

Shoe repair people are called "cobblers" because the term derives from the Middle English Word "cobeler" or "cobler," which referred to a shoemaker or repairer. The origin is thought to come from the Old French Word "cobler," meaning to mend or patch. Traditionally, cobblers were skilled artisans who not only repaired shoes but also created them, and the term has persisted over time to denote those who specialize in shoe repair.
