Facts About
Coulter
Coulter is a locational, coming from any of the places so-called or similarly spelled across Britain but mainly in Scotland. Locational surnames were traditionally given to someone who had moved away to a new area, whereby they were assigned the name of their original home as a surname to differentiate them from the other townspeople. The place name itself comes from the Gaelic ‘cul’ meaning behind and ‘tir’ meaning ‘county’. Therefore we can expect this surname to have been given to a person who had moved to a county in a southerly direction, where they would have been referred to as the person from the ‘county behind’. |
