Facts About
Rutter
Rutter is a surname that originates from France and would have been brought over to Britain by invading Normans. It come from the French word ‘roteor’ which was the title given to the player of a rote, a medieval string instrument. In this case the surname would have been given as an occupational surname to the player of a rote. There is also an alternative origin, from the similar French word ‘rotier’ meaning robber. If from this origin, the surname would have been given in a similar way as an occupational surname, although we can hardly call robbing an occupation. |
