Scambler Family History
Scambler Name Meaning
from a lost minor locality in Melling parish (Lancs) which is recorded as Scamler in 1536. The place-name appears to derive from the Old Scandinavian personal name Skammel (see Scammell ) + Old Scandinavian erg ‘shieling hill pasture’ though this cannot be certain without earlier forms of the place-name.
