The stringer Surname
stringer Name Meaning and History
English: occupational name for a maker of string or bow strings,
from an agent derivative of Middle English streng ‘string’. In
Yorkshire, where it is still particularly common, Redmonds argues that
the surname may have been connected with iron working, a stringer
having operated some form of specialist hearth.
