Fischer is thought to be an occupational surname, form the Old English ‘fiscere’ meaning a person who caught fish. It would have been given as a surname to a person who made a living out of catching and selling fish. However, if we consider this surname as influenced by both Old English and Old Norse, it takes on a slightly different meaning.
