Tevye (The milkman).
Yes, fiddler on the roof, is a metaphor. Tevye basically states this in the first scene "we are all like... a Fiddler on the ROOF!" as the first song Tradition (which is another very heavily used theme in the show) The fiddler and his shakiness, almost falling over, as Tevye also states in his opening "speech" represents the breaking with tradition that Tevye and his family do throughout the show.

It is based on Tevye and his Daughters (or Tevye the Milkman and Other Tales)
Topol (Israeli actor Haim Topol) played the lead character, Tevye in the 1971 movie. However, his character is a milkman, not the fiddler himself, who appears in the film at strategic points but has no spoken lines.
In Fiddler on the Roof, the main character Tevye has four daughters. From oldest to youngest their names are Tzeitel, Hodel, Chava, Shprintze and Bielke.
