Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (December 15, 1832December 27, 1923; French pronunciation {{IPA|/ɛfɛl/}} in IPA, in English usually pronounced in the German manner {{IPA|/'ajf?l/}}) was a French engineer and architect, specialist of metallic structures. The name of Eiffel was adopted by one of his German ancestors in the early 18th century, taken from his birthplace Marmagen located in the Eifel, as the French could not pronounce his actual name of Bönickhausen.
