Fisher Family Crest, Coat of Arms and Name History

Fisher Surname Name Meaning, Origin, History, & Etymology

This is an English (or German, Fischer) occupational name denoting a person who earned his living as a fisherman, or a topographic name for a person who living near a fishing weir, deriving from the Old English world fiscere or fiscian meaning “to catch fish”. In Ireland, it is an Anglicized version of the name Gaelic Ó Bradáin, meaning “descendant of Bradán”, with Bradan being a personal (first) name meaning “salmon”. In Scotland, it can also be an Anglicized version of MacInesker or the Celtic name Mac an Iascair. In the United States, various non-English surnames has been Americanized into Fisher, including the German Fischer, Dutch Visser, and the Italian Pescatore, among others. It is believed the surname was brought into England from France during the Norman Conquest of 1066 AD. It is claimed the family held lands and title at Warwickshire where they were granted property by William the Conqueror for their service to him at the Battle of Hastings. In Germany, the Fischer family was first found in Saxony.

In his book, Patronmyica Britannica, Mary Antony Lower writes the following “Fitz-Urse is said to have gone over to Ireland, and there to have become ancestor of the Mac Mahon family-Mac Mahon being the Celtic equivalent of ‘Bear’s son;’ but other branches of the family remained in England, and gradually corrupted the family name thus; Fitzour, Fishour, Fisher. The great Kentish family of Berham, or Barham, is also deduced by Philipot, Harris, and other Kentish historians from the same source-apparently upon the strength of the first syllable of that name resembling the word bear”.
