The latimer Surname
latimer Name Meaning and History
English: occupational name for a Latinist, a clerk who wrote
documents in Latin, from Anglo-Norman French latinier,
latim(m)ier. Latin was more or less the universal language of
official documents in the Middle Ages, displaced only gradually by the
vernacular—in England, by Anglo-Norman French at first, and
eventually by English.
